Houthis Generate Billions Annually from Fuel Trade and Taxation, Yemeni Officials Say
Sana'a – According to statements by Yemeni government officials, the Houthi group earns an estimated $2.5 to $3 billion annually through the import and sale of fuel, as well as the imposition of customs and tax levies in territories under its control. The group reportedly monopolizes fuel imports via the strategic port of Hodeidah, where it imposes levies of up to $120 per ton of imported gasoline. Officials claim that nearly 50% of fuel shipments arrive free of charge from Iran, later sold in local markets at inflated prices—generating over $1.57 billion during one reviewed period alone. Fuel prices in Houthi-controlled areas are nearly double those in government-controlled zones, with a 20-liter canister of gasoline selling for approximately $18.70, compared to $10.30 elsewhere. In addition to direct fuel revenues, the Houthis have collected an estimated $789 million in customs and taxes on oil derivatives imported via Hodeidah port during a single year. Yemeni Minister of Information, Muammar Al-Eryani, described the fuel trade as a 'lifeline for war financing,' accusing Houthi leaders of enriching themselves at the expense of ordinary Yemenis.

EU Allocates €9 Million to Help Avert Famine in Yemen
Brussels – The European Union has announced a €9 million funding package aimed at preventing famine in Yemen, as part of its broader humanitarian response to one of the world's most severe and protracted crises. The funding, earmarked for emergency food assistance and nutrition support, will be channeled through EU humanitarian partners including the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It targets vulnerable communities in conflict-affected regions such as Hajjah, Taiz, and Hodeidah, where acute food insecurity has reached alarming levels. EU officials say the initiative is designed to bolster local resilience and mitigate the impact of climate-induced shocks, displacement, and economic collapse. The package includes provisions for malnutrition treatment, livelihood restoration, and agricultural support, with a focus on women and children. 'Millions of Yemenis are on the brink of starvation. This funding is a lifeline to those most at risk,' said Hadja Lahbib, EU Commissioner for Crisis Management. 'We urge all parties to facilitate humanitarian access and uphold international humanitarian law.' The €9 million allocation is part of a larger €80 million EU humanitarian commitment to Yemen for 2025. Since the start of the conflict in 2015, the EU has contributed nearly €1.6 billion in aid to Yemen, including food, health, education, and mine clearance efforts. Humanitarian agencies warn that without sustained international support, famine could become widespread, especially as funding shortfalls force aid groups to scale back operations.
