Why Yemen’s Mocka port matters for global trade and the Red Sea

Yemen’s port city of Mocka is at the centre of a battle with major strategic implications for the Red Sea and global trade.

Al Jazeera 's Perry Wilton explains why control of Mocka and the surrounding coastline provides leverage over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital maritime gateway for oil, gas and food shipments.

The report also looks at Mocka’s historic role in the coffee trade and the devastating humanitarian cost of the conflict, with tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the ongoing fighting.
