Yemen migration and displacement management

Overview

Yemeni authorities are working to strengthen national and regional responses to increasing migration and displacement flows. In late August, the National Asylum Committee met in Aden to discuss managing mixed migration from within Yemen and the Horn of Africa. The committee proposed establishing specialized management centers, enhancing maritime search and rescue, and transitioning from emergency response toward sustainable infrastructure development in health and water sectors.

By mid-September, efforts shifted toward legislative development. The Minister of Legal Affairs met with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to discuss creating a national law to regulate displacement and criminalize human trafficking. The discussions emphasized the need for legal frameworks to protect victims and provide humanitarian assistance in regions such as Aden, Taiz, Lahj, and Marib.
