00:00United Nations agencies are calling for international assistance in Yemen as tens of thousands of people have been forced to
00:07flee the advance of Houthi rebels.
00:11Nearly 130,000 have been displaced across seven governorates, the International Organization for Migration said on Monday.
00:20Most are being hosted in the southwestern Thais governorate, but more than 3,000 people have taken the dangerous journey
00:29across the Red Sea to Djibouti.
00:31Yemen was plunged back into violence earlier this month as Iran-backed Houthi rebels advanced down the coast, capturing the
00:40port of Mocha.
00:41The IOM is warning that Thais city could be the Houthi's next target, threatening a further humanitarian crisis.
00:50Yemen has been mired in conflict since 2014, when the Houthis seized control of parts of the country, including the
00:57capital Sana'a.
00:59A Saudi-led military intervention in support of the internationally recognised government triggered years of fighting.
01:06The 2022 ceasefire largely stopped the war, but hostilities erupted again in July.
