UN report refutes Houthis port blockade
Recent data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations indicate that wheat imports to the ports controlled by the Houthi movement in Yemen increased by 73% in June compared to the previous month, and by 72% compared to the same period last year. This surpasses the average of the past three years by 35%. However, fuel imports experienced a sharp decline of 28% compared to the previous month due to U.S. sanctions, the fallout from tensions with Iran, and Israeli strikes on port infrastructure. This decrease in fuel supplies has led to rising prices and increased agricultural costs, worsening the food crisis and pushing more than half of the population towards food insecurity. Experts warn that the situation may continue to deteriorate in the coming months due to climate change and its connection to the El Niño phenomenon.
