Deputy Minister of Transport Denies Houthis' Claims of Hodeidah Port Siege
The Deputy Minister of Transport of Yemen, Nasser Ahmed Sherif, affirmed that the Hodeidah Port has not been under blockade, as claimed by the Houthi group. United Nations data shows that between May 2016 and May 2026, the port received over 72 million tons of essential supplies, including 41.5 million tons of foodstuffs, 20.1 million tons of fuel, and 10.4 million tons of goods. He explained that the UN verification and inspection mechanism carried out 2,634 inspections and allowed the passage of 3,238 ships, reflecting continuous and regular import activity through the port. He emphasized that international figures and evidence prove that the port remained open and was not subjected to a blockade. He added that the Houthi campaigns are part of political misinformation aimed at blaming others for the human and economic conditions. Sherif pointed out that the port's revenues have not been used to improve citizens' lives or to pay salaries, despite the urgent need for that, and affirmed that the government is committed to international laws to ensure the delivery of essential goods to all Yemenis.
