Global News published this video item, entitled “Yemenis struggle without internet for third day after air strikes” – below is their description.
Most of Yemen faced a third day without internet on Sunday after air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition on the Red Sea city of Hodeidah, the main landing point for the country’s undersea web connection, damaged its telecoms infrastructure.
Seven years of conflict have divided Yemen between an internationally recognized government based in the southern city of Aden and the Iran-aligned Houthi group in Sanaa.
The government’s communications ministry said on Sunday that it was ready to re-connect territory under its control via another undersea cable which lands in Aden, where parts of the city still have internet services. Some organizations have access to satellite internet.
It remains unclear when repairs in Hodeidah will be carried out, or what needs to be done.
“If safety is guaranteed, and we get guarantees that the strikes are not resumed, our engineers are ready to do the repairs,” Ali Nagi, CEO of the TeleYemen telecoms company Nosary, told Reuters from Sanaa.
