UN: 112,000 displaced inside Yemen in two weeks as thousands flee to Djibouti
The UN migration agency says at least 112,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen in two weeks amid renewed conflict, while nearly 3,000 have fled by sea to Djibouti. Houthi forces have escalated attacks and advanced toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key shipping route.
At least 112,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen in the last two weeks as fighting continues along the country’s west coast amid renewed conflict, the United Nations migration agency said on Friday, September 18, 2026. The agency said nearly 3,000 people have fled by sea to Djibouti.
Sandrine Desamours, a representative for the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, told reporters in Geneva by video link from Djibouti that nearly 3,000 people crossed the Gulf of Aden to Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence forced more families to flee.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have stepped up attacks on Saudi cities and energy infrastructure while advancing along Yemen’s Red Sea coast toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key shipping route, according to the report.
