More than 2,000 people have arrived in Djibouti after fleeing an intensification of fighting in Yemen. According to the United Nations, the displaced individuals landed in Djibouti over the course of the week following an uptick in armed conflict between Houthi fighters and government forces.

The mass displacement was triggered by a week-long Houthi offensive that culminated in the capture of the Red Sea port city of Mocha and the remainder of the area controlled by the Saudi-backed government forces. The fighting has forced tens of thousands of people to take flight from the ongoing conflict.
