A vessel capsized on Tuesday while offloading cargo at Yemen’s Red Sea port of Hodeida, leaving at least one worker dead, Yemeni officials said.For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.The cargo is owned by the UN food agency, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. It was not immediately clear what caused the vessel to capsize. But the officials said the vessel was old.The strategic Hodeida port handles about 70 percent of Yemen’s commercial and humanitarian imports.The World Food Program did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.Yemen, already the Arab world’s poorest country, has been caught in a grinding civil war since 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi militia captured much of the country’s north and the capital of Sanaa, forcing the internationally recognized government to flee.The following year, the Arab Coalition intervened to wage war on the Houthis and restore the government to power.The conflict has killed more than 130,000 people and spawned the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.The UN has warned that 16 million people in Yemen — or about half the population — could face serious food insecurity. Tens of thousands of people already live in famine-like conditions.Read more:Photos: Shattered rooms show toll the war on Gaza takes on childrenUN envoy says he is frustrated as Yemen ceasefire talks derailedHouthi militia is spreading fabrications of fake victories: al-Maliki
