Summary

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is severely disrupting the delivery of food and medicines to populations affected by humanitarian crises, compounding an already strained funding environment for aid organisations. Rising supply chain costs and the obstruction of this critical Middle East chokepoint are threatening relief operations worldwide. The United Nations is warning of delays of up to six months in humanitarian deliveries as a result.
