Hodeida in a sentence

Attempts to inspect the deteriorating ship have dragged on for years, with UN requests for access repeatedly declined by the Iran-backed Huthi rebels who control much of Yemen’s north including Hodeida port.

For years Saudi Arabia –– and the Yemeni government it supports –– have prevented virtually any containerized goods from entering Hodeida, Yemen’s principal Red Sea port.

After the Houthis' deadly July attack on Tel Aviv, Israeli warplanes bombed Houthi-controlled Hodeida in response, destroying much of the facility's fuel storage capacity and killing several people, according to the rebels.

Israel's military said it was attacking targets of Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen, including around Hodeida port, a key entry point for fuel and humanitarian aid to war-ravaged Yemen.

The Greek-flagged, US-owned bulk carrier Sea Champion had been full of grain from Argentina and was bound for Aden and then rebel-held Hodeida when it was hit in February.

The July 20 attack on Hodeida, the main harbor under the control of the Iran-backed Houthis, destroyed most of the port’s oil storage capacity and triggered a massive inferno that burned for days.

Yemen's Huthi rebels promised a "huge" retaliation against Israel on Sunday following a deadly strike on the port of Hodeida, as violence sparked by the Gaza war gripped the region.

Fighting is ongoing on other fronts including Hodeida, Dhala’ and al Baidha.

In particular it has not prevented the Huthis from increasing their influence in the part of Yemen they control nor has it reduced their control in Hodeida governorate.

The majority of the population is located in the northern highlands under Huthi control, therefore the importance of access via Hodeida port cannot be over emphasised.

The most outrageous example, described by the German representative at the UN Security Council as another case of “incomprehensible degree of cynicism and barbarism” was the situation of the Red Sea Mills in Hodeida.

Al-Ra'i said in his letters that the authorities of resigned Hadi backed by the countries of Saudi-led aggression coalition had held several oil tankers coming to the port of Hodeida.

And he said the creation of five joint observation posts has led to an 80 per cent reduction in security incidents in Hodeida city.

He also urged the reopening of Sanaa’s international airport and open access to Yemen’s Red Sea port of Hodeida, a crucial entry point for imports and humanitarian aid.

In the letter, a copy of which was obtained by AFP Friday, he accused Griffiths of “providing the Huthi militia with guarantees to stay in Hodeida and its ports under the umbrella of the UN”.

The United Nations negotiated the Hodeida disengagement plan six months ago in Sweden.

U.N. Secretary-General expressed concern about a coalition airstrike early Friday around Al Hali district, north of the port city of Hodeida in Yemen.

War-weary residents of the flashpoint Yemeni port city of Hodeida have little hope of peace even as the U.N. regains control of vital food aid warehouses on the front lines.

Coalition warplanes rained missiles and bombs on Houthi positions near Hodeida airport, in the city’s south.

Hodeida is more important.
