> More than 3,000 Yemeni refugees have crossed the Bab al-Mandab Strait to Obock, Djibouti, placing severe pressure on the town’s limited resources. Local authorities say the influx has exceeded their capacity to provide food, water and shelter. Many refugees are sleeping outdoors and urgently need basic supplies and safer living conditions.
