Al Jazeera publishes testimony on blanket shortages and inadequate shelter for displaced families
Al Jazeera published a field report quoting families in Taiz and Marib’s al-Qawz camp who struggle to obtain blankets and winter clothing, and a displaced man in Shabwa describing charcoal and heating costs relative to income. Interviewees called for urgent winter supplies alongside shelter repairs. The new development is publication of this testimony. We have not independently verified the needs assessments, and the report does not establish deaths from cold or new aid deliveries during the window.
