> Fighting on Yemen’s west coast has driven thousands across the Bab al-Mandab Strait to Djibouti by boat over the past ten days. A camp in Obock is preparing for up to 10,000 arrivals, while the UN migration agency says overcrowded boats are reaching shore with very little food or water. The crossings followed an Iran-backed Houthi offensive to seize a key island and the strategic port of Mokha.
