More than 10,000 could flee Yemen fighting to Djibouti in coming months: UN

More than 10,000 people may flee Yemen's conflict and head to Djibouti in the coming months, according to the United Nations. This mass migration is a consequence of the ongoing fighting, which has seen the Iran-backed Houthis seize control of Yemen's Red Sea coastline. The escalation of violence threatens global trade and has already pushed up energy prices, making the situation increasingly unstable. This instability will likely have a ripple effect on the global economy, particularly in regions heavily reliant on trade and energy imports.

Why it matters

The conflict in Yemen is escalating, causing a large number of people to flee. This could lead to a humanitarian crisis and put pressure on neighboring countries to provide aid and shelter.
