A recent UN report stated that fuel imports to the ports of Hodeidah, which are under the control of the terrorist Houthi militia, witnessed an increase of about 44% during the first eight months of the current year 2023.

The World Food Program (WFP) stated in its September update on the food security situation in Yemen that the total fuel imported through the ports of Hodeidah and Saleef, which are under the control of the Houthi militia, amounted to 1.606 million metric tons, during the period between January and August 2023.

The report explained that the total fuel imported through the Houthi ports during the first eight months of this year represents an increase of 44% over the same period last year, which witnessed the entry of a total of 1.119 million metric tons.

According to the UN report, fuel supplies from the beginning of this year until August represent an increase of 358% over the first eight months of 2021, which confirms the importance of the UN truce in significantly improving the entry of fuel through the Red Sea ports.

The Houthi militia had previously announced the imposition of new taxes on goods at the land crossings it established between the liberated areas and those under its control.
