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. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 Demonstrators demanding release of Gaza hostages to march in London amid rising Middle East tensions in UK

Police in London prepared for another day of protests on Sunday as the conflict in Gaza continues to heighten tensions across the United Kingdom.

Demonstrators demanding the immediate release of all remaining hostages in Gaza plan to march through central London to the prime minister’s residence at No. 10 Downing Street on Sunday afternoon. This follows a protest the previous day where police arrested 474 people supporting a banned pro-Palestinian group.

Among those expected to attend is Noga Guttman, cousin of 24-year-old hostage Evyatar David, whose distressing video released by Hamas last week stirred outrage in Israel. The footage showed David, appearing emaciated, saying he was digging his own grave inside a Gaza tunnel.

Hamas militants abducted 251 people during their attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Around 50 hostages remain unreleased, with about 20 believed to be alive.

Last week, Israel announced plans to occupy Gaza City in an effort to end the war and secure the hostages’ release. The move has been widely condemned by families of hostages and international leaders, warning it could lead to further bloodshed and endanger those held captive.

Stop the Hate, a coalition organizing the march, issued a statement saying, “We are united in one clear and urgent demand: the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. Regardless of our diverse political views, this is not a political issue — it is a human one.”

On Saturday, London police arrested hundreds during a protest aimed at pressuring the government to reverse its recent ban of the group Palestine Action, designated a terrorist organization last month. The legislation makes public support for the group a criminal offense.

The Metropolitan Police Service said 466 people were arrested for supporting Palestine Action, with an additional eight arrested on other charges, including assaults on officers.

The government moved to ban Palestine Action after activists broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged two tanker planes in protest of Britain’s support for the Gaza conflict. The group had previously targeted Israeli defense contractors and other UK sites linked to the Israeli military.

Supporters of Palestine Action are challenging the ban in court, arguing the government has overreached by labeling the direct action group as terrorists.
