II. Country Profile
Since early 2004, tribal groups referred to as 'Al Houthi' have engaged in an armed conflict with the Yemen military and government-backed tribal fighters in Sa'ada Governorate. Since June 2009, military operations rapidly extended from Sa'ada district to the neighbouring districts and governorates, resulting in massive displacements of populations.
Available information estimate that approximately 150,000 persons are currently displaced, including the populations displaced during previous fighting.
