Last update: 4 hours agoMaritime Disruption & Shipping Costs: Maersk is restarting Red Sea routes, moving its MECL service back to the Suez Canal and cutting transit times by about 7 days westbound and up to 14 days eastbound—an important signal for Yemen-linked trade that has been battered by regional attacks. Yemen Food Security: A WFP-FAO update says household food consumption in Yemen worsened again in May 2026, with 62% struggling to meet minimum needs and severe deprivation rising to 36%, while Red Sea port degradation is linked to major revenue losses.
