At least 150 people have been killed in 24 hours of clashes in Yemen’s Hodeidah, medics and military sources said on Monday.
Government loyalists supported by a Saudi-led coalition are fighting to oust the Iran-backed Houthi rebels from the Red Sea city, whose docks are a lifeline to 14 million Yemenis at risk of starvation. In a statement sent via the Telegram messaging app, the Houthis said they had “lured” loyalists up the western coastline of Hodeidah, where the rebels then launched an attack. Government forces, led on the ground by Emirati-backed troops, have made their way into Hodeida after 11 days of clashes, reaching residential neighbourhoods in the east on Sunday. Medics in hospitals across Hodeidah province reported 111 rebels and 32 loyalist fighters killed overnight, according to a tally. Nearly 600 people have been killed since clashes erupted in Hodeidah on November 1.
