Yemenis are crossing the Red Sea to Djibouti to escape an escalating war between Houthi forces and Saudi-backed forces, according to accounts from people who have made the journey.
The departures reflect the worsening conditions created by the conflict in Yemen. Those who fled spoke about their experiences after reaching Djibouti, where they sought safety away from the fighting.
The conflict has brought together Houthi forces and forces backed by Saudi Arabia, with the escalation prompting some Yemenis to leave the country by sea. The crossing links the Yemeni coast with Djibouti across the Red Sea.
The latest situation described is one of continued movement by civilians attempting to escape the war. The supplied information does not provide further details about the number of people involved, the timing of the crossings or their circumstances after arriving in Djibouti.
