An economic source in Sana'a confirmed to Al-Akhbar that maritime traffic in the southern Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait is stable, indicating that this traffic constitutes 70% of its normal levels before the Strait of Hormuz crisis and before Ansar Allah imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia on July 20th. The source expects the number of ships transiting the strait to increase to more than 50 vessels and tankers daily if an agreement is reached regarding the Strait of Hormuz, and to reach 100% if Riyadh responds to Sana'a's demands and Saudi ships resume transiting Bab al-Mandab.
