Escalating Conflict in Yemen Displaces Nearly 100,000 and Threatens Aid Shipments

The ongoing conflict in Yemen has led to the displacement of nearly 100,000 individuals since early September, with thousands fleeing to Djibouti. UN agencies report that the escalating hostilities along Yemen's western coast are choking off aid shipments and could affect humanitarian and commercial shipping in the region, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis where nearly half of the country's 41 million people require aid.
