I had a great meeting yesterday with H.E. Lt. Gen. @malsubihi1 of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council. The exchange underscored IOM’s readiness to scale up support for stronger institutional capacities and migration governance, aligned with national priorities.

Listening to teams on the front lines reinforces what matters most: delivery, accountability, and impact. Thank you to the @IOM_Yemen for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to delivering for communities across Yemen, even in an increasingly complex context.

Today at Al Maashiq Palace, I met with @Yemen_PM Dr. @Shaya_Zindani. We discussed strengthening collaboration on migration, durable solutions to displacement, support to vulnerable communities, including development and recovery needs and Yemen’s participation in IMRF 2026.

In #Aden, I visited the Migrant Response Point, a lifeline delivering critical assistance and protection to migrants after often perilous journeys. Amid heightened risks, IOM remains committed to protecting and assisting people on the move so that they are not left behind

In Al-Tuwahi district, Aden, I visited Basuhaib School, renovated by IOM in 2022, and saw its impact on more than 800 children and host communities. Yet needs persist, and under current projects, IOM will rehabilitate 17 schools in the coming months. Education is key to recovery.

Yesterday, I arrived in #Yemen, where more than a decade of crisis shapes daily realities. We had constructive meetings with Major General Mohammed Musaad AlAmir, Undersecretary of Ministry of Interior, and H.E. Abdulrahman Sheikh Al‑Yafei, Governor of Aden and Minister of State

I had the pleasure to co-chair the senior coordination meeting bringing together senior officials from African GCM Champion countries—united by a shared vision to assess progress on migration governance, ensure a unified African voice and strengthen delivery on our commitments.

A boat carrying around 240 migrants capsized last night off the coast of Shabwah, Yemen. 10 migrants died; the remaining 230 reportedly reached shore, aided by local fishermen. This incident highlights the deadly risks migrants face and the need for safe migration pathways.

“We are nearing 1 million displaced people. People feel that nowhere is safe. Many fled with nothing, and any further escalation will result in catastrophic consequences.” IOM’s @OthmanBelbeisi spoke with @BeckyCNN about the rapidly worsening humanitarian situation in #Lebanon👇

Today, I visited the @JesuitRefugee shelter in #Beirut, open since day one of the hostilities and now hosting 180 displaced migrants. Their stories remind us that migrant communities are also affected by the crisis in #Lebanon and must not be overlooked in the response.

I’m back in #Lebanon, where escalating hostilities are taking a heavy toll on people. IOM teams are on the ground responding to surging displacement, but needs are immense and resources are nearly exhausted. Urgent support is needed to sustain life-saving assistance.
