UN: over 130,000 displaced in Yemen as fighting escalates

–

Neutral summary

The International Organization for Migration reported that nearly 130,000 people have been displaced across seven governorates in Yemen due to escalating insecurity, with many displaced multiple times. The UN refugee agency warns that continued fighting could drive more than 230,000 people from their homes, with over 10,000 fleeing to Djibouti. UN agencies say up to 112,000 people have already been displaced, most in the last two weeks along Yemen's western coast and in Taiz governorate. Heavy fighting continues in Taiz, Marib and al-Jawf between Saudi-backed government forces and Houthi fighters, with artillery and missile exchanges and intensive airstrikes on Houthi positions. Military sources in both camps told AFP that 154 people were killed in the last two days, while The Guardian reports up to 169 killed in three days. UNHCR spokesperson Babar Baloch said that “intensifying fighting in Yemen could drive more mass displacement,” with people fleeing both within Yemen and to Djibouti, Somalia and other countries. The Jerusalem Post notes that the UNHCR response plan for Yemen was less than 20% funded before the renewed violence caused a surge in needs.
