The decision of the terrorist Houthi militia to close the Sanaa-Hodeidah road to goods trucks coming from the port of Hodeidah caused a significant increase in the value of transportation fees, which raises the cost of goods and its impact on their prices in local markets and its impact on the livelihood of citizens.

The Houthi militia imposed the decision to transport goods to Sanaa and from there to the rest of the governorates via the “Hodeidah-Dhamar line,” with the aim of raising financial levies through the “scale” that it created in the “Ma’bar” area in Dhamar Governorate.

A document issued by the Heavy Transport Syndicate in Hodeidah clarified the increase in the transport load of trucks after changing their route through Dhamar - Hodeidah, and the document indicates an increase in the value of wages by “3400” riyals for each ton.

On Sunday, the Houthi militia decided to cut off the Sana'a - Hodeidah road via Manakha in order to prevent truck traffic and divert it via the Al-Mahwit or Hajjah roads, which are narrow roads and not suitable for heavy traffic.
