Over 100,000 people have been displaced in Yemen due to conflict between the Houthi rebels and forces loyal to the internationally recognised government, according to the United Nations. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) reported that the escalating hostilities along Yemen’s western coast have forced more than 100,000 people inside the country to flee, as well as thousands more to undertake dangerous journeys across the Bab al-Mandeb strait to reach Djibouti for safety.
The agency warned that the violence threatens to trigger a humanitarian crisis, citing the urgent need for shelter, food, clean water, healthcare, and protection services for displaced families, as well as additional support for those arriving in Djibouti.
