Renewed fighting in Yemen has sent more than 3,400 people fleeing to Djibouti within 48 hours, with Mocha airport abandoned amid deteriorating security as conflict between the Yemeni government and Houthi forces intensifies. The United Nations now says more than 100,000 people have been displaced overall by the escalating violence, with many undertaking risky maritime journeys to reach Djibouti. Analysts note that Houthi forces have made territorial gains as the battle for control of key areas continues, deepening a humanitarian crisis that is straining neighboring Djibouti's capacity to receive new arrivals. The UN warning underscores the scale of displacement as the conflict shows no signs of abating.
