## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, intensified Houthi operations and expected counterstrikes near Taiz, Mocha, and along the Red Sea coast are likely to displace several thousand additional civilians, many of whom are already repeatedly uprooted. Access routes for aid to urban centers and rural communities will degrade as front lines shift and militarization around key ports increases. Humanitarian agencies will face higher security risks and potential pressure to coordinate with military actors for safe passage, compromising perceived neutrality. Confirmation would be new IOM/UNHCR displacement figures, reports of blocked roads, and aid operations being suspended or rerouted; denial would require a rapid localized ceasefire or de facto frozen front.

## Drivers

- Houthi offensive actions toward Taizz and capture of Mocha
- Reports of amphibious operations and coastal consolidation along the Red Sea
- High threat assessment for CENTCOM theater and trend of energy infrastructure becoming primary battlefield
- Historical displacement patterns in Yemen during coastal offensives
