UNHCR completed the distribution of 1,455 Tehama Emergency Shelter Kits (TESKs) in Al-Hudaydah and Hajjah governorates during the first week of the year, bringing the total number of constructed TES to date to 7,920. The TESKs are demined for hot and humid climates and combine standard plastic sheeting using traditional construction techniques and locally sourced material such as khazaf, a palm fibre refined to produce modular walls and manufactured by displaced Yemeni and female heads of households from local hosting communities. UNHCR its Shelter Cluster partners source these materials for use in shelter distributions using sustainable materials.
