Almost all were displaced in the last two months, and they "urgently need shelter, food, clean water and health care", the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a statement.
Yemen slid back into war in July after four years of relative calm, amid fallout from the wider Middle East conflict.
Hostilities intensified in September, with a Houthi offensive in the west.
