More Than 145,000 Displaced in Yemen, IOM Says

More than 145,000 people have been displaced across eight Yemeni governorates since fighting escalated on the country’s western coast in June, according to new figures from the International Organization for Migration.

The organization released the figures on Monday, highlighting the scale of displacement linked to the escalation.

The total covers people displaced in eight governorates, rather than a nationwide count. The summary of the figures did not identify those governorates or provide a breakdown for each.

The displacement adds to the humanitarian toll of the conflict, with the western coast escalation forcing large numbers of people from their homes.
