she told us the situation in the port city is now critical. lear that the worst fears of the aid agencies have been realised, that the strategic red sea port of hodeidah has become a major battleground. what happens here could determine the outcome of the conflict, which has now dragged on for almost four years. and critically, it could be the trigger for a famine in yemen. about 20 million yemenis, that's two thirds of the population, are entirely reliant on humanitarian supplies that come in through this one port. about 80% of the supplies come through hodeidah. last month, when we were in yemen, the un was already warning that even a short disruption to the operation of the port caused by fighting would have an impact that would be immediate and catastrophic. within days, hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't have enough food, within weeks, that would escalate into the millions. added to that, grave concern tonight about the fate of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in that city, caught between air strikes by the saudi—led coalit
