After analyzing the data statistically, it was found that the social support obtained by displaced women in the Capital Sana’a is at a low level, and that the most common social support is that provided by the government, followed by social support from the family, followed by feeling satisfied with support, and finally support provided by friends, colleagues and neighbors. The results found that there are no statistically significant differences in the level of social support among displaced women according to the variables of age, marital status, level of education and duration of displacement.
