00:00The UN Refugee Agency warned Tuesday that the displacement crisis in Yemen is worsening with more than 130,000 people
00:07forced to flee their homes since early September, as hostilities intensify.
00:11In this context, the spokesperson of UN Refugee Agency, Abar Balok, said that since the new fighting began, a large
00:18number of Yemeni refugees have already crossed the Bab Al-Mandab Strait to reach Djibouti.
00:23Also, Balok warned that the escalation could trigger even larger waves of displacement, and a growing number of Yemenis are
00:29expected to flee the country to Djibouti, Somalia, and other destinations.
00:34This is the most serious escalation since the UN negotiated truce in 2022, largely stopped major hostilities.
00:43Fighting in Yemen is expanding across multiple front lines, triggering a rapidly growing displacement crisis, and driving more than 130
00:56,000 people to flee their homes since the beginning of September.
01:06Yemeni refugees continue to arrive daily. More than 3,000 have so far arrived in Djibouti, where UNHCR is working
01:15with authorities and partners to assist the arrival.
