UNHCR said on the 15th that rapidly escalating hostilities along Yemen’s western
coast have internally displaced more than 100,000 people and forced thousands to
cross the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to Djibouti. UNHCR warned further escalation
would produce additional internal displacement and cross-border flows. In the
past four days over 2,400 people have arrived in Djibouti by boat; more than 60%
are women, children or elderly.
