Story summary

More than 112,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen, primarily along the western coast and in Taiz and Lahj provinces, due to renewed conflict between Houthis and forces loyal to the internationally recognized government backed by Saudi Arabia. Nearly 3,000 Yemenis have fled across the Bab al-Mandeb strait to reach Djibouti, adding significant strain on Djibouti's limited resources and infrastructure. The escalation includes Houthis seizing control of Mocha port and advancing towards the strategic Red Sea coast. Djiboutian officials estimate that more than 3,400 refugees arrived in just two days, further exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation.
