Djibouti and Somalia have received most Yemeni refugees since the escalation of the conflict in Yemen in March 2015 based on available data. Humanitarian agencies report that approximately 9,583 Yemenis have fled to Djibouti and 2,113 have fled to Somalia. Data on the number of Yemenis who have fled to others countries in the Middle East is not yet available.
