what the battle for her day that means for yemenis living in already park area existence. the u.n. considers the war in yemen i'm going to quote the u.n. here the world's worst humanitarian crisis but now the fighting close to the northern city of her data has forced at least thirty thousand people to flee their homes many troops backed by saudi and iran two forces began operation golden victory against their opponents on june the twelfth the pro-government forces say they have already taken control of her data airport from the bees and now they have their sights on control of the port just a few miles to the north so far that's remained open but there are concerns that a battle for the port could stop ships from docking a clip from our colleagues at a.j. prospects bangs just how crucial it is for supplies to enter who data have a look. i

don't use a single most important point of entry for the food and basic supplies needed to prevent damage and a recurrence of a cholera epidemic we feel that as many as two hundred fifty thousand people may lose everything even their lives. joining us via the phone from her day that is hussein and brooke eighty he is a pro journalist welcome to the stream i'd like to start with this tweet from he says excuse me the people in who they are afraid of being trapped in a conflict for a long time and are tired of being suppressed by the host these the ideal solution was for the un to reach a compromise deal however now that it's too late hussein give our international

audience an idea of what life is like and where they are right now. let. me. tell you. the last. month. the. village. which i have the best connection with

i do apologize is one thing i do want to share with our viewers and this is something tweeted out not for long and it's explained to people who are following on twitter the data port just imagine any port that says more than seventeen million people. are now under threat and here you are walking around basically turn a little bit of a show and tell what's the most important thing that we need to know about that a portal from your perspective just make it brief so that we could helpfully pick up what you're trying to say. that. all right it's very difficult to actually keep that connection so i'm going to ring in other guests that we have hussein thank you for trying to join us and i apologize for the audio there for more on the challenges facing civilians in yemen we're joined by

a lot. a journalist and documentary filmmaker who has reported extensively on the war. she is senior crisis advisor at amnesty international which last week released a report on how both the saudi coalition and the who are holding up essential aid also in new york is someone else or she is chairwoman of yemen aid a humanitarian organization and here in the studio we have some. she's a yemeni political affairs commentator and of this is seen fellow at georgetown university ladies welcome really looking to forward to hearing your perspective. this port why is it so important to date a port and where are we in this war in yemen that this port is taking up so much focus right now the port has taken our focus the international focus ever since the start of the war at the very start the plan was laid on the table to kind of have a military battle and but the obama administration stepped in and said that it is

a red line purely because the port allows access to twenty four million people to deliver aid and medicine and food which is the lifeline of those people in yemen's war now we have three years of fighting during those three years there was a man men made famine that was created and the fear of this battle is we already have a humanitarian crisis at play the fear is we're going to exacerbate it by launching a battle there a week without aid or medicine could mean that hundreds who depend on that could die and the problem now with the battle as well is that the country is not prepared for the internally displaced people who had to flee if they can afford the fuel of . they had to flee to other governorates some people decided to stay put what does that mean for the time being it's the unknown that's terrifying are the civilians going to be safe or are they going to be attacked but what we know is that the most successful battle in her day that could take up to two months and those two months

if the port activities do not return it means that people are not going to be able to have access to food and medicine now what's on the table is that the u.n. special envoy martin griffith is trying to strike a deal where the port could be operational regardless of military activity around it so keeping that in mind summer i want to read out this tweet from each see flora's who says that support is geo strategically important for the who thing and for the government if the saudi led coalition can capture it will deal a blow to the who the ability to resupply and if the who to use can resist that coalition it will deal a massive blow to the coalition's morale and momentum so keeping all of that in mind earlier in the show build the connection was not that great i did hear hussein say that the streets are back open and people are out and about i know that you have family there in her what are they telling you what do you make of their experiences these are the this tweet from agency who says this port is important. i

mean this poor is really strategic on an international level but also for yemen however in terms of the people in the country and in the programs specifically there's two who perspectives they would want the conflict to be very quick rather than it being sluggish but at the same time they're very much over the fact that they are suppressed under these and these are the words of family and community within ten minutes. from the airport and from the court so this is the type of perspective that we're dealing with but in that sense how do we pressure both sides to respect i fell and how should we approach the issue of and that. i think should be through the port of aden which is open and fully functional at the time and organizations personally have shipped a couple of items. should be ssion packages to them to the northern province mostly and it was very successful ron you come to this with

a perspective of understanding of a more actually means so if we're looking at the data area i'm looking at this potential of this conflict moving closer and closer to the residence that what does that mean for them i mean. there's a good up. means of all there graphic alarm is. to say it's all the city in order to get to the pool with the coalition eventually want to get to the right they have to guard a huge. civilian area tightly. that city the very densely populated city. it means risking st louis this is happened before as. point being

a fight. at this point ideally it was. part of a plan which. means. the one question that our support to the thought of starting in order to save civilians from being caught up in the street fight. is a been preparing for a straight. face in the trenches. digging trenches in the middle of a word between the apple. on the coachman's well i'm trying to reach for the apple two for however. the fight has mostly been for until now both sides claiming that we still have power. what's interesting about the part of the day that is that it's not the only port that's in yemen we have two other ports one us shutdown one is slightly operational and that is the port of our done that summer mentioned earlier the problem with those those two reports cannot replace

the data it's been a struggle to kind of get them up and running the way that data is even you know that american administration sent to cranes to day this port to help in the delivery of aid because that is the one port that is able to kind of carry out aid on that on that level now what's what's terrifying in the process is that the city of i've done and other cities are considered totally free territory and yet they don't witness any stability and the port and i then has failed to substitute the part of had a that and i think if they are able to have a port run like the port of the day that would be a very welcome. change because the people's lives depend on this leave i think it be fair to say that most of our audience is so focused on what happens to the people who are living in yemen right now the humanitarian aspect i just want to show you from about a week ago what civilians in data was thinking about they were concerned about that the idea that there might be this

a sort coming on to the port how can this well i was working in the data poured enough support close those were why go to work when this comes and this disaster happens where my going to find work the only thing we have is to die we don't have anything other than. we don't have gas to cook with my husband has a motorcycle that he used to work with on the port road and now the road is closed and the bikes motor has broken down and we're in the path of the rain and wind which take our houses with them i have a young daughter who's exhausted and sick and we can't get her medication or anything only the necessary food if a war happens what are we going to do. hearing reports like that and stories firsthand accounts like that is what leads people online to point fingers so shooting on twitter says like the attack on yemen the battle for data is misguided and she was a callous disregard for human life their willingness to use starvation and can.
