Libyan Arab Jamahiriya Crisis Situation Report No. 43 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 01:27:44 +0000 Source:  UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country:  Chad, Egypt, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (the), Tunisia This report is produced by OCHA in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It was issued by OCHA Libya. It covers the period from 3 to 6 June. The next report will be issued on or around 9 June. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES . The recent inter-agency mission to Tripoli and the surrounding areas found that IDPs in the area are receiving adequate assistance from the Government with some concerns for food needs in the longer term. The mission observed long queues at petrol stations and was informed by the Government of food and medical commodities running low. . A round table meeting - entitled ?Sharaka? or partnership ? was held in Cairo on 6 June. The meeting brought together Arab, Islamic and western organisations involved in providing relief to Libya. Four key areas were identified for improved partnership and cooperation: borders, early recovery, health and food security. . The number of people who left Libya and have not returned is now estimated at over 635,000; of which 279,359 are Third Country Nationals. . There are an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 Malians and thousands of Egyptians, according to the Mali and Egyptian Ambassadors to Libya in Tripoli. Many are reportedly in the southwest towns of Sabha, Gadames, Ubari and Murzuk. According to IOM, up to 25,000 Chadians remain stranded in Gatroum, in southwestern Libya, where an IOM mission is planned. . The US$407 million revised Regional Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis is currently funded at 47 per cent with US$190 million committed and $3.6 million in pledges.

Yemen Civil Unrest and Displacement HCT Situation Report No. 1 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:54:15 +0000 Source:  UN Country Team in Yemen, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country:  Yemen This report is produced by the Humanitarian Country Team in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It was issued by OCHA Yemen country office. It covers the period from 31 May 2011 to 6 June 2011. The next report will be issued on or around 12 June 2011. I. Highlights/Key priorities Heavy fighting between government and anti-regime tribal forces have left at least 29 dead and over a hundred injured, including women and children. Hundreds more are displaced within the capital Sana?a. 4,000 urban refugees in Sana?a seek protection from the latest violence in the capital. Inter-agency rapid assessment reveals at least 9,947 new IDPs have fled to schools and public buildings in Aden and 4,700 IDPs in Lahj following further conflict in Zinjibar, Abyan Governorate where reportedly 95% of the population has been displaced within other inaccessible areas surrounding Zinjibar. Humanitarian access remains restricted in parts of Abyan, Sana?a and Sada?a Governorates. A national shortage of fuel is disrupting markets and contributing to the cost of food and water rising threefold in some urban locations and further threatens the delivery of humanitarian programming. Food assistance and non-food items as part of the Sada?a Response Plan reaches IDPs in Sa?ada Governorate following successful negotiations with the Al-Houthis to increase access. The HCT successfully mobilized US$ 6.3 million from the CERF under the rapid response window to respond to the new humanitarian needs resulting from the civil unrest and the conflict in the north.
