From Australian wine, to Japanese cars and clothes from Bangladesh: Map shows supplies of goods under threat by Red Sea shipping attacks as experts warn impact of crisis on High Streets will be felt 'within days'
Daily Mail 20 DEC 2023
High streets could soon feel the impact of the Red Sea crisis, with vital imports of wine, tea, tobacco and other popular goods drying up 'within days', experts have warned.
Marco Forgione, director general of the Institute of Export and International Trade, said goods from countries including Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and Australia will be hit by the shipping disruptions, as tankers seek to avoid the Red Sea.
It comes as the Iran-backed Houthi rebels continue to cause mayhem in the critical Middle Eastern shipping route, using missiles and drones to attack merchant vessels, as the terror group chilling vowed to turn the route into a 'graveyard'.
The relentless attacks by the Yemen-based group are in response to the Israel-Hamas war, with militants today insisting their relentless assaults 'will not stop... no matter the sacrifice it costs us'.
Mr Forgione warned the knock-on effects on consumers would start to be felt within days with supplies of essential items such as meat, clothes, shoes, Australian wine and electronic goods such as mobile phones, impacted.
He told MailOnline: 'The ripple effects of these shipping disruptions will become apparent to consumers within a matter of days.
