Lao People's Democratic Republic |
The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology of Lao PDR issued urgent flood warnings on 22 July 2024, due to Tropical Cyclone Prapiroon moving across the central South China Sea and passing through Hainan Island. At the same time, a strong southwest monsoon affected central and southern regions, leading to widespread moderate to heavy rains and rising water levels in tributaries. From 23 to 31 July 2024, heavy rainfall, driven by a low-pressure system and strong southwest winds, caused floods and landslides across northern and central regions.
According to the recent report from the NDMC gathered from 22 July to 8 August 2024, the persistent heavy rainfall has triggered widespread flooding and landslides across six provinces in Lao PDR, which included Luang Prabang, Huaphan, Xiengkhuang, Borlikhamxay, Khammuane, and Salavan province. Luang Prabang, Huaphan, and Xiengkhuang province have been the most severely impacted by floods and landslides |

Yemen |
Yemen is currently grappling with a severe climate emergency, as relentless flooding has swept across the country, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. Over the past several months, from March through August 2024, catastrophic floods have wreaked across numerous governorates, including Al-Hudaydah, Hajjah, Taiz, Dhamar, Sanaa, Amran, and Saadah deeply impacting approximately 39,765 households, according to the Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRC). The floods have led to significant loss of life and have left over 278,355 people in urgent need of assistance. The impact has been particularly devastating in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) sites and surrounding communities, where homes, farms, and livelihoods have been destroyed. The situation is compounded by the challenges in accessing affected areas, as the movement of landmines, road damage, and the widespread nature of the impacted communities hinder the delivery of essential aid. These floods have not only inflicted widespread damage on infrastructure and homes but have also intensified vulnerabilities, particularly among IDPs who were already living in precarious conditions. The convergence of the floods with Yemen's protracted conflict has created urgent needs in shelter, health services, and food security, further complicated by significant health risks, including potential outbreaks of waterborne diseases and the displacement of unexploded ordnances. This dire situation underscores the critical need for a coordinated and enhanced response to address the compounded impacts of climate-induced disasters amid ongoing conflict. |
