Hodeidah is an important port city in western Yemen, located near the entrance of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, with an extremely important strategic location, making it a key gateway to international markets for Yemen. As one of the largest ports in Yemen, the port is responsible for about 70% of the country's imported goods throughput, including food, fuel and medical supplies, etc., which plays an irreplaceable role in Yemen's livelihood and economic development. Historically, Hodeidah was an important node of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, connecting trade routes in Africa, Asia and Europe. However, since the outbreak of Yemen's civil war in 2015, the situation in Hodeidah has continued to be volatile, with port facilities repeatedly damaged and a dire humanitarian crisis. Despite this, the city still occupies a central position in Yemen's reconstruction and future development due to its unique geographical location and historical heritage.
