> Yemen’s conflict is intensifying as Houthi forces move towards government strongholds in Taiz and Marib. More than 85,000 civilians have been displaced, with some crossing the Red Sea to Djibouti. The Houthi capture of Mocka and its proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait highlight the offensive’s strategic significance.
