Ethiopia remained the largest group of migrants entering the conflict-ridden nation during the month, as reported by the IOM's Yemen Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). The number of migrant arrivals rose by 3% from the previous month. The migrants entered Yemen via southern coastal landing points and the Yemen-Oman land border crossing. Among the 13,687 arrivals, an estimated 2,584 (19%) were under 18 years old, while 2,540 (18.5%) were women. No children under five were recorded among the incoming migrants. Most arrivals occurred in Abyan (41%), Shabwah (26%), and Taiz (26%), while Al Maharah accounted for the remaining 2%. All migrants in Abyan and Taiz had departed from Djibouti, whereas those in Shabwah came from Somalia, and those in Al Maharah entered from Oman. Somali nationals made up the remaining 9% of arrivals. The IOM data also revealed that Ethiopian nationals constituted all 1,649 migrants who departed Yemen in July, with the majority heading to Djibouti through the Lahj coast and others traveling to Oman via the Al Maharah land border.",
