The American Conservative confirms that Saudi-led Coalition plan to attack Hodeida Port

The American Conservative confirmed in a report that Saudi-led Coalition plan to attack Hodeida Port, whose port receives both commercial imports and critically-needed aid supplies

The American Website said that a coalition attack on the port and its environs would be disastrous for the civilian population that depends on the port for what few goods are allowed in

“If the coalition did this, it would be compounding the effects of its blockade and bombing campaign. The humanitarian crisis is already the worst in the world, but attacking the port would still manage to make it even worse,” the website added

A coalition assault would very likely lead to mass starvation, and the loss of life would be measured in the hundreds of thousands or possibly millions

The new U.N. envoy for Yemen warned Tuesday that reports of a possible military operation around a major urban center and a key seaport could ruin any hopes of ending that country’s civil war

“We also hear unconfirmed reports that movements of forces in Yemen are on the increase and that the terrible prospect of intensive military operations in al-Hodeida, long heralded, maybe soon forthcoming,” Martin Griffiths told council members

The Website said, ” Continued U.S. support for the coalition gives them the encouragement and the means to attempt an attack”
