More than 200,000 people have been displaced in Yemen as fighting escalates, the United Nations said, with 3,700 of those fleeing across the Red Sea to Djibouti amid clashes involving Houthi forces.
The UN warned that three in four families in parts of the war‑torn country are now facing hunger, underscoring the deepening humanitarian crisis as hostilities intensify.
Djibouti, a small nation on the Horn of Africa, has become a destination for thousands of Yemenis seeking safety, with the latest figures showing 3,700 arrivals linked to the recent Houthi clashes.
Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war since 2014, a conflict that has devastated infrastructure, disrupted food supplies and forced millions to rely on humanitarian assistance.
Humanitarian agencies are calling for urgent aid and protection measures to address the growing number of displaced families and to prevent further deterioration of food security across the country.
