Red Sea port damages surpass $12B
The article discusses the losses suffered by the Red Sea ports of Yemen—including Hudaydah, Saleef, and Rasu Al Der —which have exceeded $12 billion due to the Saudi and Israeli aggression and the ongoing blockade that has lasted for more than 12 years. Continuous airstrikes, totaling more than 68 attacks since the beginning of the aggression, have destroyed vital port infrastructure, including berths and logistical facilities, and resulted in the killing and injury of dozens of workers. The blockade has also halted most import operations, reducing the volume of goods from 6 million tons annually to about one million tons, along with a significant decrease in the number of received containers, in addition to the destruction of oil tanks and vital storage facilities. Officials confirmed that these assaults aim to starve the Yemeni people and undermine the economy. They called on the international community to lift the blockade and protect the ports in accordance with international laws, emphasizing that work continues despite ongoing destruction.
