The first group of 122 Chinese citizens were evacuated from Yemen to Djibouti, an African country located across the strait in the Gulf of Aden. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said the Chinese Embassy in Djibouti is offering necessary assistance for Chinese nationals to return to China as soon as possible. Yemen is currently suffering from political unrest and clashes between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to Yemeni President Abd-Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who has fled the country.Xinhua
