At least ​112,000 people have been ‌displaced inside Yemen within the last two weeks ​as fighting continues ​along the country's west coast ⁠amid a renewed conflict, ​while nearly 3,000 have ​fled by sea to Djibouti, the United Nations migration agency ​said on Friday.

Yemen's ​Iran-aligned Houthis have stepped up ‌attacks ⁠on Saudi cities and energy infrastructure while advancing along Yemen's Red ​Sea coast ​towards ⁠the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a ​key shipping route. Responding ​to ⁠the Houthi offensive, the Saudi and Yemeni ⁠air ​forces have ​bombarded Houthi targets.
