UNHCR is building 4,700 eco-friendly transitional shelters for more than 30,000 displaced Yemenis. They are designed for the harsh conditions in Hajjah governorate in north-west Yemen.

The shelters are designed and built with the help of displaced Yemenis using traditional construction methods and materials.

Since civil war erupted in Yemen in 2015, more than three million people have been driven from their homes by the conflict, with more than two million of those still displaced within the country.
