A ship carrying 5,500 tons of flour arrived at Yemen's Red Sea port of Hodeidah yesterday, after 20 days of military blockade by Saudi-led coalition. A spokesperson for the World Food Programme for the Middle East and North Africa region, said some 25,000 tonnes of wheat will be offloaded today.<br/>Earlier this month, a Saudi-led coalition battling Iran-backed Huthi rebels imposed a blockade on Yemeni ports and airports in response to a missile fired by the Houthis that was intercepted near Riyadh airport. The blockade worsened the plight of millions at risk of starvation.
