Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning.

LASG EMBARKS ON DEMOLITION OF DISTRESSED BUILDINGS

To prevent building collapse and secure lives and property, the Lagos State Government is set to embark on the demolition of identified distressed buildings in the State.

The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako made this known in his office on Monday while giving updates on Government building collapse prevention plans.

He stated that the focus of the exercise were structures already marked as distressed by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) particularly in Ebute-Metta East where an occupied building collapsed a week ago with many others vividly showing distress signs.

Salako added that while the assessment of structures in the area and other parts of the State continued, it became pragmatic to promptly remove those earlier identified as being in critical distressed state to avert disaster as the rains are here.

 "The Administration of Mr.Babajide Sanwo-Olu is committed to ensuring the security of lives and property. This underlies our resolve to act promptly in addressing the spate of building collapse by removing inhabitable structures before they cause more havoc, especially during the rainy season when such buildings are more prone to collapse", he said.

He reiterated that residents should maintain vigilance of the environment and report any untoward developments through the Ministry or the State Government communication channels, particularly the Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development Mobile App that is available for download both on Google Play and IoS.
