Situation Update
The closure on all air, sea and land entry points to Yemen imposed on 6 November affected the movement of humanitarian staff and cargo, including any transport facilitated by the Logistics Cluster. After ten days, some sea ports and airports were re-opened in southern Yemen, allowing humanitarian flights to land in Aden and the VOS Apollo voyages to resume; the north of the country remained inaccessible until 25 November, when UNHAS flights resumed from both Djibouti and Amman. Hodeidah and Saleef ports also reopened at the end of November.
