UN Says Fighting in Yemen Has Displaced More Than 200,000 People

More than 200,000 people have been displaced in Yemen by fighting between the Houthi militia and government forces, the United Nations said Wednesday.

The UN attributed the displacement to the ongoing hostilities, which have forced people from their homes.

The brief announcement did not specify the period covered by the figure or identify the areas from which people had fled.

The reported displacement underscores the civilian toll of the fighting, with more than 200,000 people uprooted as the two sides continue to clash.
