Eden, Newsyemen:
The International Organization for Migration said that more than 20,384 people have fled the escalating fighting in Marib Governorate since last February.
The organization reported that the number may be higher, as registration of new arrivals continues across various sites (IDP camps).
Since February of this year, the Houthi militia has launched a major attack on Marib, in an attempt to complete control of the oil province.
The United Nations has warned that the attack on Marib could lead to a major humanitarian disaster.
