Yemen Crisis Displaces 112,000 People
The UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, reported that more than 112,000 people have been displaced from their homes in Yemen over the past two weeks due to intensified military clashes on the western coast, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The report indicated that approximately 3,000 individuals crossed the Gulf of Aden toward Djibouti in less than a week, with the latter preparing to accommodate up to 10,000 new refugees, straining its health and educational services, which currently host around 36,000 refugees, mostly from Somalia and Ethiopia. This wave of displacement came after intensified fighting since mid-July, when government-aligned forces targeted Sana'a Airport, and the Houthi rebels launched a counterattack against Saudi Arabia. The group has made advances in areas along the Red Sea coast and near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, including the strategic port of Moka.
