Yemen's fragile peace is under threat once again as Iran-backed Houthi rebels have resumed their assault on the strategic al-Makha port in the Red Sea. The port, a key entry point for international trade and humanitarian aid, has been a focal point of the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and the Yemeni government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition. The resumption of attacks on the port raises concerns about the impact on the already dire humanitarian situation in Yemen, where millions of people rely on aid shipments to survive. As the conflict escalates, the international community is left wondering if diplomacy can prevail or if a return to all-out war is imminent.
