More than 2,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in recent days due to worsening insecurity on Yemen’s western coast, with the displaced crossing the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Djiboutian authorities and humanitarian officials said, TRT Afrika reported.


The influx into Djibouti’s northern Obock region began accelerating on 10 September, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).


Estimates shared by the National Office for Assistance to Refugees and Disaster Victims (ONARS) initially put the number of Yemeni refugees at about 1,600, most of them women and children.


Djibouti’s Minister of Economy and Finance Ilyas Dawaleh said in a social media post that as of Sunday, 13 September, the figure had risen to 2,084.


Displaced Yemenis


Prime Minister Abdoulkader Kamil Mohamed, accompanied by Foreign Minister Abdoulkader Houssein Omar, Interior Minister Omar Abdi Said and other senior officials, visited Obock on Sunday to monitor the situation of the displaced Yemenis.


Obock lies on Djibouti’s northern coast overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait, one of the world’s most strategically important maritime passages separating the Horn of Africa from the Arabian Peninsula.


The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has said that more than 82,000 civilians have been displaced since the beginning of September, including more than 2,000 who have reached Djibouti.
