Yemen's Al-Hodeida port remains inactive two months after IDF strike, expert says
Despite the two-month anniversary of the IDF strike on Yemen's Al-Hodeida port, the facility remains inactive, according to an expert.
The expert, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the port has been unable to operate since the strike, which targeted a crane and other equipment. The expert added that the port is a vital lifeline for Yemen, which is facing a humanitarian crisis.
The expert said that the strike has had a devastating impact on Yemen, which is already struggling with a civil war and a cholera outbreak.
The expert called on the international community to pressure Israel to allow the port to reopen.
The IDF has not commented on the strike, but has said that it is committed to preventing weapons from reaching Yemen's Houthi rebels.
The Houthi rebels have controlled Al-Hodeida since 2014, and the port has been a key entry point for weapons and other supplies.
The United Nations has called for the port to be reopened, saying that it is vital for the delivery of humanitarian aid.
