> More than 70,000 people have fled their homes in Yemen after Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched an offensive to seize the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Many have escaped to Aden, while around 1,400 crossed into Djibouti. The UN and IOM say the new displacement is worsening the country’s already dire humanitarian crisis after 12 years of war.
