Arab Coalition Evacuates Sick Indian from Ship Off Hodeidah

The Arab Coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen responded on Thursday to a distress call from a commercial vessel west of the Red Sea port of Hodeidah.

The call was made by commercial ship Navarino after an Indian crew member suffered health problems, said the coalition.
