More than two-thirds of people in need and more than 80 percent of all cholera cases are located in the areas closest to Hudaydah and Saleef ports, according to the United Nations.

Saudi ambassador to the United Nations, Abdallah Y. Al-Mouallimi, said Monday that the Saudi-led coalition would reopen seaports and airports in areas controlled by the Yemeni government within 24 hours. But he said those in rebel-held areas, including Hudaydah and Sanaa, would remain closed unless a stricter UN verification and inspection mechanism is in place over cargo transferred through those ports.

The entire population of Yemen is dependent on food, fuel and medicine imports, primarily through seaports and more than 17 million Yemenis, or more than two-thirds of the population, are already food insecure, according to the United Nations. The World Food Program said Monday that the current stock of rice would run out in 111 days and stock of wheat in 97 days.
