Battle for Hudaida could make Yemen’s humanitarian crisis worse

if Saudi-led coalition takes the vital port of Hudaida, food imports for 70 percent of the population may be at risk.

The battle for Yemen’s most strategic port city continues as Saudi and Emirati-backed forces battle Iranian-supported Houthis.

Losing Hudaida would deal a serious blow to the rebels.

It could also interrupt or cut off food imports for 70 percent of the population.
