Plans for control of Hodeidah

 * Yemen’s Al-Hudaydah: A child’s worst nightmare Middle east Monitor October 22, 2016
 * The fact that it is situated on the Red Sea, adjacent to Eritrea, gives the port very high geostrategic value. Its waterway also leads directly northwards towards the Saudi border, which is just over 200km away... Having a direct Houthi presence in Al-Hudaydah – especially when at that time the port was the second largest port in Yemen – was a great cause of concern for the Saudis.
