Djibouti Minister Appeals for International Support for Yemeni Refugees
Djibouti's Minister of Social Affairs and Solidarity called for increased aid to help Yemeni refugees sheltering in the country.
Djibouti's Minister of Social Affairs and Solidarity, Ouloufa Ismail Abdo, has appealed for greater international assistance for Yemeni refugees who have sought shelter in the small Horn of Africa nation.
Djibouti sits across the Bab-el-Mandeb strait from Yemen and has hosted refugees fleeing the conflict that has gripped Yemen for more than a decade. The minister's appeal points to continuing strain on resources available to support displaced people in the country.
Officials in Djibouti have periodically called on international donors and humanitarian organizations to expand support for refugee populations, citing limited local capacity to meet growing needs.
Details on the scale of assistance being requested, or on specific commitments from international partners, were not immediately available.
