Last update: 8 hours agoHumanitarian Crisis: The UN’s IOM says at least 76,000 people have fled their homes in Yemen since July, with displacement quadrupling in the past week as fighting between government forces and Iran-backed Houthis intensifies, especially along the west coast and in Taiz. Red Sea Power Shift: Houthis say they’ve seized Yemen’s entire Red Sea coastline and key Bab al-Mandeb areas, raising fresh shipping and oil-route fears.
