48 hours in the country caught up in Yemen-Houthi fighting | BBC News

In Yemen, the country’s internationally recognised government is fighting with the Houthi rebel movement.

Since the informal ceasefire fell apart in July, fighting has intensified – forcing thousands of people from their homes.

Many flee to Djibouti, a tiny former French colony that sits just across the water from Yemen. BBC Correspondent Frank Gardner spent a day there reporting across BBC News.
