Djibouti Appeals for International Assistance Amid Surge in Yemeni Arrivals
Djibouti's interior minister says the number of people fleeing Yemen for the country has surpassed national capacity, prompting a call for outside help.
Djibouti has called for international assistance as thousands of people fleeing Yemen continue to arrive in the country, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
Djibouti's interior minister said the number of arrivals already exceeds the country's national capacity to accommodate them, the report said.
The minister's warning highlights growing pressure on Djibouti's resources as it absorbs a rising influx of people crossing from Yemen, according to Al Jazeera.
Details on the exact number of arrivals, the conditions they face, and the specific nature of the assistance being requested were not immediately available.
Al Jazeera did not provide further information on the response from international organizations or other governments to Djibouti's appeal.
