LEARN ABOUT THE YEMENI CRISIS
About 2 million people have been displaced because of the war in Yemen. Before the war began in Yemen, poverty was already an issue for many in the country and it was one of the poorest nations in the world before the war. The war has only caused the number to rise. Refugees have been fleeing to neighboring countries, with Saudi Arabia taking in the largest amount of Yemen refugees. Due to the high rate of poverty, most refugees are not able to flee to the United States and Europe given the high costs of traveling to these countries.
Many have been fleeing to the Horn of Africa despite the war going on there. About 3,000 Yemen refugees have been fleeing to the Horn of Africa, where war is also prominent. The countries in the Horn include Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Sudan, all of which have suffered from many political issues. Despite the issues within these nations, Yemeni refugees migrate across the Gulf of Aden to escape the danger within their home country.
