- ECHO Daily flash of 01/04/2015

  • In the past few days, about 686 persons fleeing the complex ergency in Yemen, have arrived in Djibouti. Not all new arrivals from Yemen are Yemeni nationals. Some 124 Chinese nationals and a number of Indians are among them. 
  • Procedures have been set up between UNHCR and the Government of Djibouti to receive all Yemenis in Obock where a refugee camp for 5000 people is being built up. With Yemeni shores a few miles away from Djibouti, ECHO is following the situation and stands ready to react if major influx was to create additional humanitarian needs in the country.
