Yemen port, airport to reopen to aid: Arab coalition

The Arab coalition said Wednesday (November 22nd) it would reopen a key Red Sea port and the Sanaa airport to aid, after a more than two-week blockade following a missile attack on Riyadh, AFP reported.

The coalition said it would reopen al-Hodeida port to receive "urgent humanitarian and relief materials" and Sanaa airport to UN aircraft from midday on Thursday.

Al-Hodeida, which is controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis (Ansarallah), is a key conduit for much-needed food and medicine imports to Yemen.
