UN: More than 100,000 people flee fighting in Yemen

The flare-up of fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthi movement has forced more than 100,000 people to flee within Yemen, according to the UN.

The UN refugee agency estimates that thousands more Yemenis have fled to neighboring Djibouti.

A representative of the Houthi movement said on Tuesday that Saudi warplanes had carried out attacks in Yemen. Three people were reported to have died, including two children.

During the day on Monday, at least 13 people were injured in Saudi Arabia after attacks by the Houthi movement.
