The Emergency Committee, controlled by the Houthis, reported a rise in fatalities after 11 more people died from recent heavy rains.
According to UN figures, seasonal flooding since July has caused dozens of deaths and displaced over 250,000 people in Yemen.
Ongoing conflict between the Yemeni government and Iran-backed Houthis continues to severely damage the country's infrastructure and health facilities, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
