About 80,000 people displaced in Yemen since September surge in hostilities began
UN figures show more than 11,442 households, or about 80,000 people, were displaced in Yemen between September 3 and 9. The Houthi rebels seized Mokha port and the entire west coast fell under their control. The UN said the figures are likely under-reported, and MSF said its Aden hospital is preparing for mass casualties.
Why it matters: This matters for the humanitarian crisis theme: renewed hostilities in Yemen are driving displacement and straining already limited medical capacity.
