The UN's IOM monthly report highlights the continued flow of migrants into Yemen, a country already grappling with a humanitarian crisis.

The report did not specify the nationalities of the migrants or their routes, but Yemen is a major transit point for migrants from the Horn of Africa seeking to reach Gulf states.
