Besieged cities, broken supply routes: Can Yemen hold its ground against Houthis

 Yemen’s government forces face mounting difficulties as they strive to sustain their offensive against Houthi rebels. Supply routes have been severely disrupted, leading to territorial setbacks and soaring fuel costs in areas they control. The fall of key locations like the Red Sea port of Mocha only complicates matters further. Additionally, internal rifts among competing factions hinder operational efficiency, while Saudi military assistance remains vital for campaign success. Yemen’s government forces face mounting difficulties as they strive to sustain their offensive against Houthi rebels.
