Houthis sweep south and displace over 130,000
Fighting flared along old front lines and around Taiz as the Houthi movement swept south along the Red Sea coast, displacing over 130,000 people and prompting some to flee to Africa. The UN human rights office documented three attacks on sites for internally displaced people in Marib on August 7, September 7 and September 9, and recorded 32 civilian deaths since August, including 15 children; the figure is likely an undercount. WHO said some health facilities were directly attacked and has stepped up medical supplies, while UN aid plans remain severely underfunded.
