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...

 Woman sentenced to maximum for killing 3-year-old in Ohio store parking lot

CLEVELAND, OHIO - A judge on Monday sentenced a woman to life without parole for the murder of a 3-year-old boy in an Ohio grocery store parking lot last summer.

Bionca Ellis, 34, was convicted earlier this month on multiple charges, including aggravated murder, in connection with the unprovoked attack. She did not testify during her trial, and her attorneys argued that she was not sane at the time of the killing, citing longstanding mental health issues.

The boy’s mother, Margot Wood, tearfully recounted in court how Ellis stabbed her son, Julian, and also injured her, saying she did not know Ellis prior to the attack. Wood described the horror of hearing her son’s screams and witnessing his terror, calling it a “living nightmare” she relives every day. Julian’s father, Jarred, described his son as bright, funny, and full of life, adding, “That monster took him from us,” and urged family and friends to keep his memory alive.

During sentencing, Wood told Ellis she deserved to spend the rest of her life in prison without mercy, while mental health experts testifying for the defense insisted Ellis was mentally ill and could not distinguish right from wrong. Defense attorneys argued that Ellis behaves like “two different people” depending on whether she is medicated and said they disagree with the verdict. Ellis briefly addressed the court, offering a partial apology.

Prosecutors said Ellis targeted the child after a confrontation with the North Olmsted Police Department, believing officers had taken money from her following a probation violation. Security footage showed her taking knives from a nearby store before arriving at the Giant Eagle grocery lot, where she carried out the attack. Prior reporting noted that Ellis had been released from jail on a separate case shortly before the incident, despite recommendations for further mental health evaluation.
