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.

Economic hardship dims Eid al-Adha celebrations for Yemeni people
As Eid al-Adha approaches, millions of Yemenis are being forced to choose between religious tradition and economic survival, with soaring livestock prices placing the cost of sacrifice beyond the reach of many households. The Islamic holiday, set to begin on Friday, is typically marked by the slaughter of goats, sheep, or cattle. But after years of conflict and economic collapse, what was once a joyful occasion has become a source of anxiety for families struggling to meet basic needs. In livestock markets on the outskirts of Aden, prices for sacrificial animals have surged. Sheep now sell for between 140 and 170 dollars, while goats fetch more than 230 U.S. dollars, traders said, prices well beyond the means of most families. "The collapse of the riyal and rising transport costs have crushed people's purchasing power," said Fahed Baleed, a livestock trader in Aden. The Yemeni currency has fallen to 2,535 riyals to the U.S. dollar, prompting some traders to price livestock in foreign currency. The economic strain is forcing families to forgo long-held religious practices. "I will only buy what my children need to eat," said Umm Mazen, a mother of four who cannot afford to purchase a sacrificial animal this year. Hamzah, a taxi driver, said he had spent a year saving for Eid but had to use the money when his child became ill. "This Eid, I'll only buy a chicken," he said. "I just can't afford a sheep." The hardship extends to other aspects of the holiday. Prices for children's clothing have increased by more than 150 percent since last year, prompting many families to make do with what they already have. "My salary doesn't cover even our basic needs," said Salah Hamady, a government employee. "New clothes for the children are out of reach, so my wife will wash and reuse last year's." Economic researcher Ramzy Sultan described the situation as a "total collapse" of Yemen's economic structure, attributing it to years of failed financial policies, institutional fragmentation, and prolonged conflict. Without urgent intervention, he warned, conditions would continue to deteriorate. The muted holiday reflects broader humanitarian challenges in Yemen, where more than 17 million people -- nearly half the population -- are expected to face acute food insecurity this year, according to the United Nations. Most are in Houthi-controlled northern regions. The war, now in its second decade, has triggered what the United Nations calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Despite repeated mediation efforts, a lasting peace remains elusive.
