Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported20m ago
Renewed fighting along Yemen's west coast has displaced at least 112,000 people internally within the last two weeks, according to the United Nations migration agency on Friday. In addition to those displaced within the country, nearly 3,000 people have fled across the sea to seek refuge in Djibouti.
The ongoing conflict involves a Houthi advance along Yemen's coast that has tightened the group's control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This strategic movement is bolstering Tehran's position in its broader conflict with the United States, occurring more than six months after prior U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
