UN chief warns navigation disruptions affect global supplies
The UN Secretary-General António Guterres affirmed that ongoing attacks and the disruption of maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab hinder the flow of energy supplies, fertilizers, and essential goods worldwide. He pointed out that these crises have led to a roughly 33% increase in oil prices since the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East, an 84% rise in shipping costs compared to last year, and a sharp increase in the prices of fertilizers and essential inputs. Guterres called for not turning strategic sea routes into tools of coercion and emphasized the need to protect global food supplies from the negative repercussions of conflicts.
