日本于周二宣布，鉴于与胡塞武装之间的紧张局势，将向也门和吉布提提供1000万美元的紧急援助。
Japan said Tuesday it will grant $10 million in emergency aid to Yemen and Djibouti amid tensions involving the Houthi group.
日本外相茂木敏充在东京对记者表示，从能源安全的角度来看，包括曼德海峡周边地区在内的中东和平与稳定“对包括日本在内的整个国际社会都至关重要”。他提到，自7月以来，控制着曼德海峡入口处的也门境内，胡塞武装的暴力军事行动日益频繁，目前沙特阿拉伯与也门胡塞武装之间的冲突仍在持续。
Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters in Tokyo that peace and stability in the Middle East, including around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, “is of extreme importance to the entire international community, including Japan, from the perspective of energy security.”“In Yemen which faces Bab el-Mandeb, Houthis have been stepping up violent military actions since July,” Motegi said, referring to the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis.
茂木敏充还指出，大量国内流离失所者和难民正涌入吉布提，当地的人道主义局势正不断恶化。此次援助资金大部分将用于也门。
“There have been many internally displaced persons and refugees are flowing into Djibouti… The humanitarian situation is worsening,” he said, announcing the humanitarian aid, most of which will go to Yemen.
自2014年9月胡塞武装占领也门首都萨那及多个省份后，也门便陷入长期战乱。为此，沙特阿拉伯牵头组建多国联军，于2015年3月出兵支持也门政府。
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
2022年4月，在联合国斡旋下达成停火协议后，也门局势一度相对平静。但同年7月，也门政府军与胡塞武装再度爆发激烈交火，成为停火后最严重的一次冲突。
Clashes between government forces and the Houthis resumed in July, marking the most intense fighting since a period of relative calm following a UN-brokered truce that began in April 2022.
进入9月后战事进一步升级，胡塞武装相继占领了荷台达省和塔伊兹省的多处要地，其中包括具有战略意义的穆哈市以及俯瞰曼德海峡的马尤恩岛。
Fighting intensified in September, when the Houthis seized key areas in Al-Hudaydah and Taiz provinces, including the strategic city of Mokha and Mayyun Island overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
本周一，也门总统领导委员会主席拉沙德·阿利米宣布启动名为“也门黎明”的军事行动，旨在恢复国家政权、夺回首都萨那并彻底解除胡塞武装的控制。
On Monday, Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad al-Alimi announced the launch of the “Dawn of Yemen” operation, saying it aims to restore state institutions, retake the capital Sanaa and end Houthi control.
