Yemen: The battle for Al-Hudaydah as a turning point in the civil war
On June 13, 2018, pro-Hadi government forces with the backing of the Sau-di Arabia and the United Arab Emirates entered the city port of Al-Hudaydah in an effort to dislodge Houthi forces. Due to the risk of a human-itarian crisis, the United Nations has attempted to secure an agreement with the Houthis to place the port under UN control, but has been unsuccessful.
