The situation in Mokha highlights a broader humanitarian crisis across western Yemen, where ongoing conflict is upending daily life, healthcare access, and living conditions for residents.

Houthis advanced into Mokha, a western Yemeni port city, triggering a rapid humanitarian emergency as Saudi-backed government forces withdrew armored vehicles and families fled with few belongings.

Most healthcare facilities in Mokha shut down after fighting began, with Mokha General Hospital remaining one of the few sites still treating patients who could not be evacuated.

Aid organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, warn of the strain on healthcare services and stress the need to keep operational facilities available for the injured and vulnerable.

UN World Food Programme reports displacement of about 125,000 people in a matter of days, underscoring the scale of disruption.

Medical needs in Mokha remain urgent, including care for pregnant women, cesarean sections, treatment for children, and care for chronically ill patients who cannot delay treatment.
