About the Red Sea

According to the New World Encyclopedia, the Red Sea is one of the world's most saline bodies of water and is an inlet of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia.

The name of the sea may signify the seasonal blooms of the red-coloured cyanobacteria Trichodesmium erythraeum near the water's surface.

UN worried over attacks on Red Sea

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the UN had expressed concern over attacks on the Red Sea.

Intensifying attacks by Yemen's Huthi rebels in the Red Sea have caused shipping companies to bypass the route and instead divert around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, significantly adding to journey times and cost.

The UN Security Council is expected to vote on a resolution demanding the Huthis stop targeting maritime traffic in the Red Sea.
