Al Jazeera AR·YE·1 day ago
Intense fighting between Houthi rebels and pro-government forces in western Yemen has displaced at least 100,000 people, with some fleeing across the Bab Al-Mandab Strait to Djibouti. The UNHCR warns of a growing humanitarian crisis as the conflict escalates, with several hundred deaths reported in four days. The displacement highlights the strategic vulnerability of the Bab Al-Mandab, a key chokepoint for global shipping.
