Fighting Forces More Than 300,000 People to Flee Their Homes in Yemen, UN Says

The flare-up in fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthi movement has forced more than 300,000 people to flee their homes in Yemen, according to the UN.

The vast majority have fled the western part of the country in the past two months, with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reporting that they are in “urgent need of shelter, food, clean water and healthcare.”

In September, the IOM reported that thousands more Yemenis had fled to neighbouring Djibouti.
