Hundreds of migrants in Yemen come to IOM-supported medical clinics each month with gunshot wounds.

Throughout the country, we hear horrific stories of exploitation and abuse.

They must not be forgotten.

The normalization of violence against aid workers and lack of accountability must end. ​

​Humanitarian personnel, assets and space to operate must be protected. Attacks on them must stop.​

❗ They died while helping others.

In 2024, a record 356 humanitarians were killed. How many more will it take before we act?

🔴 Demand respect for International Humanitarian Law
🔴 Demand protection
🔴 Demand accountability

Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

In times of conflict, access to basic services such as shelter, healthcare, water and food is essential to saving lives.

IOM works with partners to deliver aid to vulnerable communities during times of crisis helping them rebuild and return home when it is safe to do so.

🚶‍♂️ Rebuild their lives

Last week, a huge fire broke out in Bin Muaili Camp in Ma’rib where more than 700 migrants are currently living.

Nearly 55 shelters were totally destroyed and 4 were partly damaged.

IOM was one of the first to arrive on the ground to provide migrants with life-saving support.

On this Eid, I honor our dear colleague Ahmed Fadol, an IOM Sudan staff member who tragically lost his life on Eid al-Fitr 2023. Ahmed's kindness and dedication deeply touched all who knew him, and his legacy lives on.

🚨 Yesterday, 49 migrants died & 140 went missing after a boat carrying 260 capsized off Yemen's coast. Our hearts go out to the victims & their families.

The East & Horn of Africa to Yemen remains one of the world’s most perilous migration routes.

In recent days, Israel has struck camps sheltering displaced people in designated “humanitarian zones” in southern Gaza, killing dozens & injuring hundreds of people.

We call for an immediate end to the Rafah offensive and the ongoing atrocities across the Gaza Strip now👇 1/3

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Whether last night’s attack on Rafah was a war crime or a “tragic mistake,” for the people of Gaza, there is no debate:

What happened last night was the latest – and possibly most cruel – abomination.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The @UNRWA chief described the images coming out of Rafah as a “testament to how Rafah has turned into hell on earth.” “With every day passing, providing assistance and protection becomes nearly impossible.”
