Houthi advance displaces 115,000 in Yemen; some flee by sea to Africa

Renewed Houthi territorial gains in Yemen have forced at least 115,000 people from their homes in the past two weeks, with some crossing the Red Sea to seek refuge in Africa. The displacement marks a sharp escalation in an ongoing conflict, compounding an already severe humanitarian crisis. The scale and speed of displacement suggest a significant deterioration in security conditions, though exact routes and destinations remain partially unverified.
