More than 125,000 Yemenis have been displaced as Houthi forces advance along the Red Sea coast toward a strategic maritime chokepoint, intensifying fighting linked to the broader Iran conflict. The offensive threatens Saudi oil exports and has increased global fuel prices. Displaced families, including pregnant women like Eshraq Abdel Gelil, face shortages of food, shelter, and healthcare while seeking refuge in cities such as Taiz amid fears of a worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
