Djibouti's Minister of Economy and Finance stated that approximately 1,400 Yemeni refugees arrived in Obock, Djibouti, within 24 hours as Houthi forces tightened their control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) previously warned that at least 46,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since the escalation of fighting last week.
