Due to Yemeni Forces' Blockade: Revenues from Israeli Port of Eilat Collapsed by 80% in 2024
Occupied al-Quds- Saba:
The Israeli newspaper "The Marker" revealed that revenues from the port of Eilat collapsed by 80% in 2024, after ships stopped docking there following the blockade imposed by Yemeni forces on maritime navigation in the Red Sea in support of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli government will vote next Sunday on a draft resolution for compensation conditional on the payment of a debt of 3.2 million shekels accumulated by the port owners.
The draft resolution reveals the extent of the damage to the port due to the blockade imposed by the Yemeni armed forces, which has prevented ships from sailing through the Red Sea, forcing them instead to circumnavigate Africa to reach Israel's Mediterranean ports, Ashdod and Haifa.
From the beginning of 2025 to mid-May, only six ships docked at the port. The suspension of operations placed 21 employees on unpaid leave, compared to only 16 ships docked last year. In 2023, port revenues reached NIS 212 million. In 2024, they decreased by approximately 80%, reaching NIS 42 million, compared to 134 ships docking at the port in 2023.

Israeli enemy warns tens of thousands of Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza Strip
Gaza – Saba: The Israeli enemy army has warned tens of thousands of Palestinian citizens in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday to evacuate their homes "immediately." The Palestinian News Agency, Wafa, reported that the evacuation warning included Abdulrahman neighborhood in northwest Gaza City and the al-Nahda neighborhood in Jabalia refugee camp. The residents of these areas are formerly displaced persons, forced by Israeli enemy authorities to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip and move south at the beginning of the genocide, before being "allowed to temporarily return" to the northern Gaza Strip. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that, as of May 28, 81% of the Gaza Strip was located within Israeli military zones or subject to evacuation orders. The UN Office indicated that since the resumption of the aggression on March 18, the Israeli army has issued 31 evacuation orders, subjecting approximately 229.4 square kilometers of the Gaza Strip to evacuation orders that are still in effect. According to a recent report by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), at least 1.9 million people, or approximately 90% of the population, were displaced throughout the Gaza Strip during the aggression. Many of them were displaced multiple times, some 10 times or more. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
