epa10756496 A boat of the Houthis-held coast guard sails in the Red Sea, off the coast of the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, Yemen, 15 July 2023 (Issued 19 July 2023). Yemen imports almost 90 percent of its overall food supply, including over 40 percent of wheat and other grains imports coming from Ukraine and Russia. The Hodeidah port is the key lifeline entry point for most of Yemen's food imports and humanitarian aid. Lately, Russia has withdrawn from a Turkey and UN-brokered deal which ensures the safe export of grain from Ukrainian ports to tens of the countries on the front line of food insecurity, including Yemen, posing a serious risk to a food shortage and global food security crisis.
