Hujan lebat ragut 4 nyawa, jejas ribuan pelarian di Yaman

ADEN (Yaman): Hujan lebat dan banjir telah mengorbankan empat mangsa di Yaman dan menjejaskan lebih 3,000 keluarga yang menjadi pelarian di negara sendiri, kata pegawai pada Ahad.

Pihak berkuasa kesihatan Yaman di wilayah Hadramout melaporkan empat individu maut apabila kenderaan mereka dihanyutkan arus deras di Lembah Ayeen.

Kawasan itu telah mengalami hujan lebat berterusan selama lima hari, menyebabkan kerosakan yang besar kepada harta benda dan infrastruktur, kata Xinhua.

Unit eksekutif untuk kem pelarian dalaman menyatakan bahawa cuaca ekstrem telah memberi kesan kepada ribuan keluarga di beberapa wilayah.

Satu kenyataan di laman web rasmi unit itu memperincikan kemusnahan tempat perlindungan dan kerugian material akibat banjir.

Sumber kerajaan menyatakan bahawa penurunan atmosfera di wilayah Hadramout, Dhalea, Jawf, Shabwa dan Abyan telah menyebabkan banjir yang teruk, dengan kem untuk orang yang dipindahkan mengalami kerosakan yang besar.

Konflik yang berterusan di Yaman, yang telah berlangsung selama sembilan tahun, telah melemahkan keupayaan kerajaan untuk bertindak balas terhadap kecemasan yang berkaitan dengan iklim itu, menimbulkan kebimbangan mengenai potensi kecederaan dan kemusnahan selanjutnya.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
