The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has warned that more than 230,000 Yemenis could be displaced if the fighting in the country escalates further. The warning comes amid renewed clashes in western Yemen, with government forces attributing heavy air strikes to the Saudi-led coalition targeting Houthi positions, gatherings, and weapons stores west of Taiz province.
So far, at least 112,000 people have been displaced, with the majority of the recent displacement occurring along Yemen's western coast and in Taiz governorate over the past two weeks. The conflict has also forced thousands of Yemenis to flee across the Bab al-Mandeb Strait to Djibouti in search of safety.
