Djibouti has officially called upon the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to manage a growing wave of refugees arriving from Yemen. As the conflict in Yemen persists, thousands of civilians have crossed the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait to seek safety in the neighboring country. This migration has created a logistical and financial burden for Djibouti, which is now struggling to provide adequate food, shelter, and medical care for the displaced population.

While the humanitarian crisis is intensifying, the international response has been described as insufficient by local officials. The journey across the sea is often perilous, with many refugees recounting harrowing experiences during their transit. Once they arrive in Djibouti, they face limited resources and an uncertain future. The situation highlights the broader regional instability caused by the Yemeni conflict, which continues to displace large numbers of people across the Horn of Africa. International aid organizations are currently assessing the scale of the need, but local authorities emphasize that the current level of support is not enough to meet the basic requirements of the new arrivals.
