Senior Houthi leader Mohammad Ali al-Houthi offered to return a British-owned cargo ship abandoned due to damage in exchange for more aid being sent to Gaza, in an X post on Sunday.
The ship was abandoned last week after being struck by a Houthi missile, NBC News reported.
“The sunken British ship could be towed in exchange for bringing relief trucks into Gaza. This is an offer that can be studied,” al-Houthi wrote.
بالامكان أن تسحب السفينة البريطانية الغارقة مقابل إدخال شاحنات للاغاثة إلى غزة هذا عرض قابل للدراسة

The captured ship has created several environmental concerns, as it is now leaking oil off Yemen’s coast.
