Since conflict erupted in Yemen in April 2015, more than 166,000 people have fled the country, seeking safety in neighboring countries and the Horn of Africa. Tens of thousands of Yemenis have left, but so have thousands of Ethiopians, Somalis and other nationalities who had been living in Yemen for years prior as migrants and refugees. UNHCR, IOM and partners have been providing support to those affected, including transport, shelter, food, access to healthcare and cash assistance. More than 2 million people remain displaced within Yemen. As the fighting continues, aid agencies expect the number of people fleeing to rise.
