New Yemen fighting displaces 290,000, says UN, with pregnant women at risk

At least 290,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since the war re-erupted in August, according to the UN humanitarian office OCHA, which warned of a dire threat to pregnant women. Fighting between forces loyal to the internationally recognised government and Houthi rebels has intensified, particularly in Taiz governorate and coastal areas, forcing families to flee their homes.
