Yemen fighting displaces 30,000 civilians: UN
SANAA, Yemen – Around 30,000 Yemeni civilians have been displaced from their homes in war-torn Yemen in the past three months, according to the UN refugee agency UNHCR.
In a statement, UNHCR said the new figure is added “to 4.3 million already displaced” in Yemen due to fighting across the country.
“Durable peace and stability in Yemen would enable UNHCR & partners to work on durable solutions,” the statement said.
Earlier this month, UN envoy to Yemen Hans Grundberg managed to strike a two-month truce between Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government, in an effort to end the eight-year conflict in the Arab country.
