It's part of the second phase of relief efforts by the UAE's humanitarian organisation this year and is set to benefit 1,200 families.

Earlier this week, a UAE ship carrying 300 tonnes of food supplies docked in the Yemeni port of Mokh.

It's being sent to several districts in Hodeidah including Bayt Al-Faqih, Al Hawak, Ad Durayhimi and Al Tuhayta.

As many as 42,000 people are in desperate need across the province.
