The Hudaydah Port is a key Yemeni port on the Red Sea coast. It is the second largest port in the country, located in Al Hudaydah, the fourth largest city in Yemen. The port handles up to 80% of the humanitarian supplies, fuel and commercial goods in northern Yemen.
Location
The port is situated in the middle of Yemen's west coast on the Red Sea at 14.8411N, 42.9301E. The port was built between 1958 and 1961 with financial and technical assistance from the USSR.
Battle for the port
In 2015 the Houthis took over the port. Since then Saudi-led Coalition and the internationally recognized government of Yemen have repeatedly accused the Houthis of using the port to receive arms from Iran. In June 2018 the Saudi-led coalition launched an offensive led by UAE to retake the port from the Houthis.
2024 air strikes
On 20 July 2024, the port was damaged following Israeli air strikes.
On 29 September 2024, the port was attacked again (as well as the airport and fuel tanks) by the IDF air forces after the rocket attack of the houthis on israel.
