Houthi rebels have blocked two
tankers from reaching Hodeidah for more than two months, said the Saudi-led
Arab coalition.
"The Houthi militias
deliberately disrupt and prevent the entry of ships to the Hodeidah port,"
the coalition was quoted by Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath as saying. It asserted that it
still issues permits for Hodeidah-bound ships.
The coalition has been launching a
massive offensive to retake the strategic port city, where its forces killed
around 1,000 Houthi rebels.
