Without food or shelter, many Yemeni families flee Houthi attacks

Yemeni families are fleeing toward the south of the country following a recent Houthi offensive along the western coast. The escalation has displaced over 100,000 people internally, with thousands more forced to cross the Bab el-Mandeb strait to seek refuge in Djibouti. Those fleeing the conflict currently face severe shortages of food and shelter.

The military advancement by Houthi forces has triggered a significant humanitarian crisis, exacerbating the instability in the region. The movement of refugees across the strait highlights the scale of the displacement caused by the ongoing offensive.
