00:00Displaced Yemenis who fled to Djibouti have been describing the fighting that forced them to leave.
00:06At least 100,000 people have left Yemen since the start of September,
00:11as Iran-banked Houthi rebels advanced on the coast,
00:15seizing control of the strategic Bab al-Mendeb Strait.
00:19More than 2,000 people took the short but dangerous voyage across the strait to Djibouti.
00:25They described planes flying overhead and gunfire everywhere.
00:30We were completely helpless, one woman said, with no food or water.
00:35The children were terrified by the fighting and explosions.
00:39Djibouti has welcomed the refugees but says the situation is increasingly difficult.
00:45But the Yemenis are grateful to be there.
00:48The hardest part, one man said, is living in constant fear of war.
