flag Yemen’s ports impose $3,000 war-risk fees per container amid regional tensions, risking deeper food shortages.

flag Yemeni ports face a sharp rise in shipping fees, with carriers imposing $3,000 war-risk charges per container, despite the country’s ports being outside active conflict zones. flag The surge, linked to regional tensions involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, threatens to worsen food insecurity in Yemen, where nearly 90% of essentials are imported. flag The Aden-based government has ordered traders not to pay the fees and may block non-compliant ships. flag Humanitarian groups warn the hikes could deepen shortages, as 63% of households already struggle to access food, with 36% facing severe hunger.
