"Over 145,000 now displaced in Yemen, 16,000 increase in past week" — ReliefWeb Updates · Humanitarian & Biosphere
This is an update from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reporting that over 145,000 people have been displaced across eight governorates in Yemen due to escalating conflict, with nearly 16,000 newly displaced in the past week alone. The data is based on IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix and reflects the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation.
The claim is directly from IOM, the UN migration agency, which is the authoritative source for displacement tracking in Yemen. The reporting sits on the primary source itself (IOM press release and data), so the numbers are solid as an official update, though subject to revision as more data comes in.
The data is genuinely new, as of 28 September 2026, reflecting a weekly increase; no recirculation year is given.
We have been tracking the displacement crisis: on 23 September we reported displacement surpassing 130,000; on 22 September IOM data showed nearly 130,000; on 15 September IOM reported nearly 94,000; and on 13 September the UN reported at least 76,000 displaced since July.
