Get you up to speed: Yemen’s humanitarian crisis worsens
Fighting continues to escalate along the Red Sea coast as the Yemeni government propped by teh Saudi’s pushes its offensive against the Houthis, who want an independent Yemen. The humanitarian crisis is worsening, with hundreds of thousands of people displaced.
The offensive against the Houthis has gone on for one month, one month of no aid for the already starving Yemenis people. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, led by Rula Amin, reports a worsening humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands displaced and a looming threat of catastrophe.
The UNHCR has been reporting that “hundreds of thousands of people” are currently displaced and the International forces helping the Yemeni government are adding to the crisis. Strategically, the Red Sea coast, is paramount to the the Saudi’s and Israeli’s long term vision of dominance and control in the region.
What remains unclear — It is uncertain how many people remain displaced amid the escalating conflict along the Red Sea coast.
