Tensions in Yemen have escalated, leading to new population displacements within the country and into Djibouti. Between September 1 and 16, approximately 109,356 individuals were newly displaced internally, bringing the cumulative total since June 2026 to 112,818. Concurrently, nearly 3,000 people arrived in Djibouti from Yemen over eight consecutive days, with around 60% estimated to be women and children.

Humanitarian organizations are concerned about the rapid pace of arrivals in Djibouti, which is straining existing capacities, and the potential for a cholera outbreak in Yemen due to overcrowded conditions and lack of clean water for displaced populations. Funding remains well below requirements, with only 64% of the necessary amount secured.

The conflict has forced over 125,000 people to flee their homes, with many sheltering in desperate and overcrowded conditions. More than 22 million people in Yemen require humanitarian assistance, and the influx of refugees into Djibouti, nearly half of whom are children, highlights the severe impact on vulnerable populations.

Specific details on the locations of internal displacement and the types of assistance provided to newly displaced populations within Yemen are not yet covered in recent reporting.
