## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, active fighting around Mokha and along the Taiz–Al Hodeidah road is likely to push additional civilians to flee toward already overstretched coastal towns or inland areas. Access constraints on the cut road will disrupt supply of food and fuel, exacerbating acute vulnerability among displaced families. Humanitarian organizations will face rising security risks, complicating assessments and aid delivery. Confirmation would be reports of new IDP movements, road closures affecting commercial traffic, and temporary suspension or rerouting of aid convoys.

## Drivers

- Houthi capture of towns near Mokha and cutting of major road axis
- Ongoing clashes near Al-Mokha and along Taiz–Al Hodeidah sector
- Existing severe humanitarian baseline in Yemen
