At least 74 people, including five paramedics, were killed by the US bombing of the Ras Isa port in Hodeidah<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday night, the US bombed the Ras Isa fuel port in Yemen\u2019s Red Sea province of Hodeidah, targeting the facility with two attacks that killed dozens of civilian workers and paramedics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0Yemen\u2019s Health Ministry<\/a>, at least 80 people, including at least five paramedics<\/a>, were killed, and 150 were wounded. The paramedics were hit by a\u00a0second US attack<\/a>\u00a0on the facility that came after rescue workers had already arrived at the scene to help victims of the first strikes (watch graphic footage of the aftermath of the attack\u00a0here<\/a>).<\/p>

While the US has shared virtually no details about its bombing campaign in Yemen since it began on March 15, US Central Command\u00a0took credit for the attack<\/a>\u00a0on the fuel port, which has grave implications for millions of Yemeni civilians who are facing severe food shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CENTCOM justified the strike on vital civilian infrastructure by saying the Houthis, who govern an area where about 80% of Yemenis live, \u201cprofit\u201d off fuel that enters the port. CENTCOM did not claim it was targeting a military site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Houthi efforts to terrorize the entire region for over 10 years,\u201d CENTCOM said. \u201cThe objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The command claimed it was not trying to hurt the \u201cYemeni people\u201d despite the severe impact fuel shortages will have on Yemeni civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBombing the Ras Isa fuel port is not just an attack on infrastructure, it\u2019s an attack on the lifelines that keep millions of Yemenis alive,\u201d Aisha Jumaan, president of the Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, told Antiwar.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout fuel, hospitals will cease to function, clean water will be scarce, and food supplies will diminish. We saw this during the Saudi blockade on Yemen where fuel shortages crippled hospitals, cut off clean water, halted farming, and stifled humanitarian aid,\u201d Jumaan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimilarly, we expect this bombing to deepen famine, fuel disease outbreaks, and worsen the suffering of millions. Yemenis have suffered so much, this will only deepen their pain and push even more families to the brink of survival,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN\u2019s refugee agency\u00a0said last month<\/a>\u00a0that tens of thousands of Yemenis are already facing famine-like conditions, and \u201ca staggering five million more are acutely food insecure.\u201d Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis\u00a0starved to death or died of disease due<\/a>\u00a0to the US-backed Saudi\/UAE-led war on Yemen from 2015 to 2022, which involved a blockade and failed to remove the Houthis from power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CENTCOM said it bombed the port because ships were still delivering fuel to it despite the US re-designating the Houthis as a terrorist organization. \u201cDespite the Foreign Terrorist Designation that went into effect on 05 April, ships have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Isa,\u201d the command said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erik Sperling, the executive director of Just Foreign Policy, connected the US attack on the fuel port to its failure to deter the Houthis despite launching daily airstrikes in Yemen for over a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving failed militarily, US now aims to use starvation as a weapon,\u201d\u00a0Sperling wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cThis will spike food prices, causing thousands of children to die of hunger. In 10 years of tracking US war in Yemen, this is the most explicit collective punishment against the Yemeni people that I\u2019ve seen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, have vowed their attacks on Israel and blockade on Israeli shipping would only stop if there were a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A senior member of Ansar Allah\u2019s political bureau\u00a0has said the Houthis would stop attacks on US warships<\/a>\u00a0if the US stopped bombing Yemen. Trump administration officials have claimed they would stop the airstrikes if the Houthis declared they would stop targeting US ships, but there\u2019s no sign the US is considering the offer since it\u2019s really bombing Yemen for Israel.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\r\n
