> An estimated 125,000 people, including more than 57,000 children, have fled since fighting began in July between Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Yemen’s government and Saudi Arabia. The UN calls it one of Yemen’s fastest and most volatile displacement waves in years. Thousands are crossing the Bab el-Mandeb to Djibouti, often without enough water in extreme heat.
