Yemen loyalists take Hodeida’s main hospital: officials

ADEN, Nov 10, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Pro-government forces fighting Huthi rebels
in Yemen have taken the main hospital in the strategic Red Sea port city of
Hodeida, government military officials said Saturday.

The May 22 Hospital lies in the east of the rebel-held city, a key aid
conduit that is the target of a renewed offensive by the Saudi and Emirati-
backed government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
