Conflict in Yemen displaces over 300,000 people: IOM data

The conflict in Yemen has displaced more than 300,000 people, almost all in the past two months, data released by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) showed on Sunday.

The IOM urged all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and humanitarian workers and to ensure safe and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid.

Yemen has been mired in conflict since late 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, prompting the Saudi-led coalition to intervene in 2015 in support of the Yemeni government.
