At least 125,000 displaced by escalating Yemen fighting this month: UN

At least 125,000 people have been displaced by escalating fighting in Yemen this month, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The agency reported that women and children accounted for half of those killed and injured in the country during September.

The displacement figures underscore the humanitarian toll of ongoing conflict in Yemen, where the civilian population continues to face severe shortages of food, medicine, and basic services.
