GENEVA-SABA
The World Food Programme is still assessing the damage from Thursday's attack by Houthis on grain silos in the Red Seaport city of Hodeidah.

The UN agency’s senior spokesperson, Herve Verhoosel, said in a statement that "it appears that two silos were hit, one of which contains wheat" but said there were no casualties or fire incurred.

Verhoosel said the silos contained some 51,000 tonnes of grains - enough to feed 3.7 million people for a month.

The militia have frequently attacked the Red Sea Mills and otherwise prevented the destitute Yemenis from food aid including by theft and confiscation.
