Danish shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk will pause all container shipments through the Red Sea until further notice, a spokesperson for the company told Reuters on Friday.

“Following the near-miss incident involving Maersk Gibraltar yesterday and yet another attack on a container vessel today, we have instructed all Maersk vessels in the area bound to pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait to pause their journey until further notice,” the company said in a statement.

Maersk on Thursday said its vessel Maersk Gibraltar was targeted by a missile while travelling from Salalah, Oman, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and that the crew and vessel were reported safe.

I remember seeing a documentary about starving children and famine in Yemen. Have things changed?

No, it's still awful there. But just like Gaza, where Hamas takes all the food and fuel from the civilians, the same thing happens in Yemen. It's a humanitarian disaster still.

The Hourthis are partners with Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran for a reason.
