The districts of Hawf and Shahan of Al Maharah were affected wtih damage to infrastructure and agricultural equipment. Strong winds and surges have also sunk two ships in Al Gaydah.

Local authorities and displacement teams are currently helping over 500 displaced families in Hadibo and Qalansiyah, with many people staying in government buildings and schools.

The Yemeni island of Socotra has also been badly affected with relief efforts taking place across the island after the storm flooded villages leaving up to 30 people missing.
