In addition, the Bab al-Mandeb Strait has become a new bottleneck in the arteries of global maritime trade, after being a relatively safe passage for the movement of trade ships and oil exports between the Middle East and global markets, amid escalating military tensions on the Yemeni coasts overlooking the Red Sea and the strait, where the Iranian-backed Houthi group in Yemen seized the strategic Al-Mukalla port and the vital Perim Island, leading to the tightening of control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the halting of Saudi oil exports via the Red Sea.
We are talking about Yemen again and Jordan is one of the countries hosting refugees from sister and friendly countries, where the number of registered Yemeni refugees with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Jordan is about 6,049 refugees according to the latest official data until September 2026, while some unofficial estimates of the Yemeni diaspora and expatriates residing in Jordan indicate higher figures reaching about 32,000 residents for various purposes such as "study, treatment, or residence".
Let's imagine the extent of the suffering endured by the Yemeni people due to the effects of external intervention and the control of some groups in steering affairs, mostly supported by Iran, and its encroachment on the essentials of normal life such as education and health, and its impact on the future of Yemeni generations who are completely innocent.
From the happy Yemen to the sad and to the bleeding wounds in the Yemeni body without respite and mercy, which seem to not stop as long as external intervention remains in place and is lying on a people who deserve to live and enjoy the blessings of their country.
The conditions of Yemenis in Jordan vary and range according to the purpose of arrival, but the circumstances remain harsh for most of them, who also form pressure on the Jordanian market and competition for job opportunities and registration in schools and other facilities.
The situation in Yemen and the escalation that intersects with Saudi Arabia and has been posing a security threat and directing mutual strikes for years, which is an additional front that burdens everyone in the region and increases the displacement and displacement of Yemenis continuously.
Despite the official and popular channels to contribute to solving many internal and external Yemeni problems, it is hoped to reach a glimmer of hope for the brotherly Yemeni people, who are groaning from wounds, dispersion, migration, and the search for a living, treatment, and shelter.
Yemen again, its situation is difficult under the current circumstances, which have overtaken it in the past; it is a haven without stability!
