World Health Organization reports a surge in displacement of over 320,000 people since August 1 amid intensifying fighting in Yemen. The Houthis have rejected Saudi Arabia's claims that they targeted Islam's holiest city, Mecca, stating instead that a drone was launched at a pumping station and Riyadh's airport was hit with three cruise missiles. Earlier, Saudi-led coalition forces claimed to have intercepted missiles and drones towards these targets. The conflict between the internationally recognized government and the Iran-allied Houthis continues to escalate, with both sides reporting significant casualties. According to Yemen's army spokesperson, at least 138 Houthi fighters were killed or wounded in hundreds of targeted attacks. In response, Houthi military spokesperson claimed successful strikes on a Saudi coalition military command center in Aden. The fighting has led to a sharp rise in casualties, with over 11,755 reported as of November 8, according to the WHO. Over 320,000 people have been displaced since August 1, with critical fuel shortages disrupting emergency medical services in Taiz.
