Houthi missiles hit Aden as UNHCR reports over 280,000 displaced in Yemen

On Friday, Houthi missiles struck Aden, where residents are stockpiling food and drawing up escape plans for fear of a return to all-out war. Saudi Arabia says it intercepted a Houthi drone aimed at Mecca, which the Houthis deny. The Houthis also claimed six attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities, despite talks between Iran and the Mecca pact countries in Tehran earlier this week. UNHCR says more than 280,000 people have been displaced and that fighting is blocking access to aid.

• Taiz governor Nabil Shamsan says the month-long Houthi siege has left oxygen, food and water running low, and that massacres are taking place.
• On Wednesday, reports said prices in Taiz had doubled and families were down to basic goods.
• The UN says fighting has forced more than 281,000 people from their homes since the beginning of August.
