Djibouti says it is facing significant pressure from a growing number of people fleeing to it from Yemen, amid the ongoing fighting in the neighbouring country across the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Responsible officials in Djibouti told Sky News Arabia that the relatively small country cannot alone meet the growing needs of the refugees arriving from Yemen, calling for additional international support.
The report did not include precise figures on the number of new arrivals or a timeline for the escalation that Djibouti authorities are describing, nor did it clarify whether formal appeals have been directed to specific international bodies or aid organizations.
Djibouti is geographically close to Yemen across the Red Sea, which has made it one of the destinations that some of those fleeing the Yemeni conflict have headed to over the years, alongside other countries in the region.
