Houthi advances in Yemen drive displacement, deepen humanitarian crisis

Mohammed Musleh is still in shock. Following the Houthi capture of the port town of Mokha earlier in September, his family had to flee their home without time to pack. "We have no idea what will happen now," the 46-year-old told DW. His wife, Muna, is also worried, as the family couldn't bring their personal identification documents. "The Houthis told us to leave, basically immediately. We had no time to take anything," she said. For now, the family and their two young daughters are staying with relatives in Aden, the largest city controlled by the government in southern Yemen . "We tell our kids in the meantime that we hope to return home soon," the couple said.
