Yemen conflict displaces over 100,000 people, UN says
The U.N. refugee agency said thousands more have fled by sea to Djibouti as fighting and Houthi advances spread along the coast.
- On Tuesday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees announced over 100,000 people have been internally displaced as fighting intensifies between Iran-backed Houthi militia and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces along the West Coast.
- Houthi efforts to seize the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a vital shipping chokepoint, drive the latest escalation, alongside simultaneous attacks on Saudi Arabia and its infrastructure.
- Taiz remains the hardest-hit province with nearly 56,000 people displaced, followed by Lahj where 19,000 residents fled; insecurity and damaged roads severely hamper humanitarian operations.
- More than 2,400 people have reached Djibouti, where UNHCR Representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours warned the response is "already under pressure" as aid sites approach capacity limits.
- Djibouti's finance minister, Ilyas Dawaleh, cited growing difficulty managing the crisis, while UN officials expect in excess of 10,000 additional arrivals in the coming days and weeks.
