On Sunday, September 1, 2024, a massive earth crack appeared in the Al-Zaidiyah district in Yemen’s Al-Hodeidah governorate.
A massive fissure appeared in Yemen’s Al-Zaidiyah district, part of the Al-Hodeidah governorate, following a period of heavy rains and floods.
This region has been severely affected by ongoing torrential downpours, which have caused widespread destruction. The exact details surrounding the formation of the fissure are still unclear, but local reports indicate significant damage to infrastructure, including homes and agricultural lands.
The heavy rains and resulting floods have already claimed many lives and displaced thousands. In August, 183 people died in Hodeidah and nearby areas due to the floods, which have also caused road closures, isolated communities, and destroyed essential infrastructure.
Relief efforts are ongoing, but access has been difficult due to damaged roads and flooded areas
Visuals on social media show a massive fissure in the ground which seems to be several meters in depth and a few meters in width.
Details of the incident are still unclear.
