Yemenis flee across Red Sea as Houthis and Saudi-backed forces escalate war

There is a serious war in Yemen. Many people are not safe there. They want to leave their homes because of the fighting. They try to flee the country to find peace.

These people cross the Red Sea. They use boats to travel over the water. It is a long and difficult trip. They go to a country called Djibouti, which is across the sea from Yemen. The BBC's Frank Gardner talks to some of these people.

In Djibouti, they hope to be safe. They are called refugees. They need food, water, and a place to live. Life is very hard for them because they lost everything in the war. They want the fighting to stop so they can go home someday.
