Yemen Conflict Displaces 112,000 People as Houthi Advance Threatens Key Shipping Route

The UN migration agency reported that at least 112,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen over a two-week period amid renewed fighting along the west coast.

Nearly 3,000 people have fled across the Gulf of Aden by sea to Djibouti, prompting local authorities to prepare for up to 10,000 incoming refugees.

The advancing Houthi forces are tightening control over the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, intensifying humanitarian strains across the region.
