WFP food imports in mt

On 20 December, the Saudi-led coalition announced to keep Yemen’s main Hodeidah port open for a month for both humanitarian & commercial cargo, including fuel. Shortly after this announcement, two commercial tankers carrying some 39,000 mt of fuel were cleared to access Hodeidah.

However, no commercial container vessel has been granted EHOC clearance to call Hodeidah port. Therefore, all WFP containerized cargo allocated for Hodeidah had to be diverted to Aden ( around 1,400 container loaded with some 21,000 MT of food commodities).

Air deliveries in m3 facilitated by the Logistics Cluster

The Logistics Cluster facilitates combined chartered airlifts from Djibouti to Sana’a, on a frequency contingent on needs and funding.

Due to a period of instability in Sana’a, the airlifts scheduled at the beginning of December had to be put on hold. As the airport reopened in the second half of the month, the Logistics Cluster facilitated five rotations between 17 and 23 December from Djibouti to Sana’a, carrying some 86 mt / 414 m3 of relief items on behalf of IMC, WHO, MSF, IOM, MDM and WFP.
