Things in Yemen have become very dangerous again. Because of the fighting, thousands of people are packing up and leaving. They are so desperate to get away that they are hopping on small boats to cross the sea.
Most of these people are arriving in a nearby country called Djibouti. The government there says they need help to take care of everyone who is showing up. Many people had to leave in just the clothes on their backs. They left their homes and all their things behind because they were afraid.
It is not just adults who are suffering. UNICEF, a group that helps kids, says that the new fighting is a disaster for children. Right now, over 12 million children in Yemen are in serious trouble because of the war. They do not have enough food or a safe place to live.
The United Nations, which is a group that works for peace between countries, says that people are still arriving in Djibouti every day. They are trying to find ways to give these families food, water, and shelter. The situation is moving fast, and aid groups are asking the world to pay attention.
