The food, including sugar, rice, lentils, palm oil, and tea will cover the needs of 140,000 people for 30 to 40 days, and will be distributed in Aden and elsewhere as soon as parties to the conflict provide the ICRC with the reassurances necessary to deliver it safely and impartially. The base is intended to help speed up the ICRC response in Yemen. The base serves as a transit point for humanitarian aid provided by the ICRC and various Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The Stella di Mare left Oman only days after the ICRC's logistics base at Salalah became operational. "The food and generators will make a difference for tens of thousands of people directly affected by the armed conflict." "In view of the economic blockade that affects all the people in Yemen, the arrival of this emergency aid is a welcome development," said Antoine Grand, who heads the ICRC in Yemen. The Stella di Mare had left the organization's newly-opened logistics base in Salalah, Oman, on 17 June. Sana'a (ICRC) – An International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) ship carrying 1,000 tonnes of food and three large generators has docked at Hodeidah port, in Yemen. The Stella di Mare takes on food for people suffering the effects of the conflict in Yemen.
