In partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), HUMAN ACCESS organization has implemented a project in Marib Governorate to clear 8,500 meters of the Marib Dam’s water channels across the Marib city and Al-Wadi districts.

The initiative aims to mitigate flood risks and protect both displaced persons and host communities living near these channels—benefiting approximately 800 families in the targeted areas.

The work involved the removal of 2,880 cubic meters of accumulated sediment and debris that had been obstructing water flow.

This intervention enhances the channels' capacity to manage and drain rainwater, thereby reducing the risks of water stagnation and flooding, and minimizing potential damage to residents and their property—especially during the rainy season.
