"The floods that started in late June and intensified in early August claimed at least 57 lives and affected more than 34.000 families, with many people missing or injured," the UN agency said in a statement.
Matt Huber, the acting head of the IOM mission in Yemen, said that the scale of the disaster and the humanitarian needs are "enormous".
"Without significant and sustained support from international donors and partners, the ability to meet the needs of those affected will remain severely limited," Huber said.

According to the Yemen Red Crescent Society, thousands of people have been displaced by the floods, which have affected more than 93.000 people.
