New wave of displacement: September 2026

Yemen: 100,000 People Displaced in Weeks. 200 Families Need You Now.

Fighting has returned to Yemen’s west coast. Families who fled with nothing are sleeping in the open — without food, shelter, or clean water.

Altawasul Alinsani Malaysia is launching an emergency multi-sectoral response for 200 of the worst-affected families, covering food, shelter, cooking and household items, hygiene and water trucking. A complete package for one family costs RM2,255.

Why now

A crisis that has just got sharply worse

The United Nations has warned that the situation in Yemen is changing fast after fighting resumed along the western coast, setting off a new wave of displacement in a country already worn down by years of conflict.

Families are leaving with only what they can carry. They arrive in host areas with no tent, no bedding, no cooking pot and no safe water — and the areas receiving them were already struggling to feed themselves.

Forced from their homes since the beginning of September 2026, according to United Nations reporting.

57,000+

Children uprooted

UNICEF reports that more than 57,000 children were displaced within a two-week period.

Frequently asked questions

Questions you may have

Who is being helped?
Vulnerable and affected families in Yemen, particularly those displaced by the renewed fighting and lacking basic necessities. The family-based packages are planned for 200 families, while the water trucking component serves affected communities according to identified emergency needs.
Where will the aid be distributed?
Across various affected areas and governorates of the Republic of Yemen, with water trucking directed to Taiz, Marib and Lahj.
Can I fund just one part of a package?
Yes. Each of the five relief projects is costed separately, from RM95 for a health and hygiene kit up to RM1,550 for a shelter and non-food items package. Any amount is accepted.
Why are prices shown in ringgit when the budget is in dollars?
The project is budgeted in US dollars because that is the currency of procurement in Yemen. Ringgit figures here are converted at USD 1 = RM 4.50 and rounded up, so your donation covers the item even if the exchange rate moves.
How will I know the aid was delivered?
Implementation is monitored daily and reported weekly to Altawasul’s management. Documented photos and videos, together with a technical and financial report, are sent to sponsors at the end of the project.

The need is immediate

A family displaced today has nothing tonight

Allah, the Most High, says:

﴿وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ﴾
“And whatever good you spend will be repaid to you in full.”

Al-Baqarah: 272

Every package funded is one family that sleeps under cover, cooks a meal and drinks clean water. Any amount, however small, makes a difference — and if you cannot give, sharing this campaign is a real contribution in itself.

Share the campaign — your message may reach the very person who funds a family.
