A/HRC/33/38 66. On 8 May 2016, President Hadi condemned the evictions and called them “individual acts”, stating that all those evicted from Aden would be allowed to return immediately. Nonetheless, the organized and coordinated nature of the eviction process raises concerns that it may have been part of a plan to expel northerners. The forced displacement of civilians violates both international human rights law and international humanitarian law.31 VII. Conclusions and recommendations 67. The perpetuation of the conflict and its consequences on the population in Yemen are devastating. Almost 3,600 civilians have been killed and more than 6,000 injured. The humanitarian crisis has deepened, with at least 7.6 million people, including 3 million women and children, currently suffering from malnutrition according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. At least 2.8 million people, more than 400,000 families, have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety as their homes and livelihoods were being destroyed. 68. The conflict has given rise to a growing number of allegations of violations and abuses of international human rights law and violations of international humanitarian law. The degeneration of the overall security situation has created security vacuums that are increasingly being exploited by armed groups, including groups pledging allegiance to Al-Qaida and ISIL. There has also been a disturbing increase in the divisive rhetoric of certain political and religious leaders, which risks aggravating sectarian, regional divisions within Yemen and undermining the social fabric of Yemeni society. 69. The prolonged duration of the conflict has strongly heightened the disastrous risk of a systemic collapse of Yemen. The resilience of the Yemeni people has been stretched beyond human limits. The international community, in its full range of political, legal and civil forces, has a legal and moral duty to take urgent steps to alleviate the appalling levels of human despair, protect the people in Yemen, allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for civilians in need, promote measures to find a durable political solution, and ensure accountability for violations and abuses of international human rights law and violations of international humanitarian law. 70. The High Commissioner is aware that the national commission of inquiry has documented some violations and abuses; however, at the time of the drafting of the present report, OHCHR has not received any concrete information on those findings or on the general progress made by the national commission in carrying out comprehensive and impartial inquiries. 71. In accordance with the recommendations from previous reports on the situation of human rights in Yemen, the High Commissioner calls on all parties to the conflict to: (a) Promote efforts led by the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen to cease hostilities and reach a negotiated and durable solution to the conflict in the best interest of the Yemeni people; 31 See the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and Human Rights Council resolution 20/9. 21
