Djibouti has urged the global community to provide urgent humanitarian support as a significant increase in arrivals of Yemeni refugees strains its resources. The East African nation is witnessing a sharp rise in displaced individuals crossing its shores to escape ongoing fighting in neighboring Yemen.
Those arriving have shared harrowing accounts of their migration routes, highlighting the perils faced by thousands seeking safety. The government’s appeal underscores the growing pressure on local infrastructure and aid services as the crisis deepens.
It is heartbreaking to see these desperate families. How can we expect Djibouti to handle this alone when the world stays silent?
This crisis is spiraling out of control. The world needs to step up and provide real aid, not just empty promises.
