Lifting Yemen blockade by Saudis far from enough – Red Cross to RT

The Saudi-led blockade of the Yemeni town of Hudeida has provoked mass protest from locals.
It has been more than two years since the Saudi-led incursion began, supporting the ousted Yemeni president against Houthi opposition fighters.
But events took a turn when Houthi militias fired a missile towards the Saudi capital. The day after, the coalition closed all air, sea, and land routes, tightening an already existing blockade. But under pressure from humanitarian organizations, it was partially lifted a week later.
RT spoke to the communications coordinator of the Red Cross in Yemen, who says it is not enough to improve the dire situation in the country.
