The e-commerce giant disclosed the situation in an internal memo this week, stating that customers in the region are experiencing delays in deliveries and returns due to this situation. The memo also noted that employees in Saudi Arabia and Jordan have been asked to stay indoors. This week, many Amazon employees in the region are gradually transitioning to remote work, while business travel to Israel and Lebanon has been suspended. The memo stated that, as of now, no safety-related issues concerning employees have been reported. An Amazon spokesperson said via email: "Our top priority is to ensure the safety of our employees and partners across the region, and we are working closely with local teams to ensure they have the support they need." This disruption highlights how quickly geopolitical tensions can put pressure on global supply chains. Amazon has spent years expanding its logistics network in the Middle East after acquiring Souq.com for about $600 million in 2017. The UAE is at the core of this network, which also includes Amazon marketplace platforms in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. According to the memo, the closure of the Abu Dhabi distribution center is expected to lead to a decrease in Amazon's operational capacity in the Middle East. The company has put additional operational support on standby to respond to this disruption and monitor the situation. The impact extends far beyond Amazon's own warehouses. According to the memo, nearly 300,000 third-party sellers in the region are facing delays in shipping goods and potential order cancellations as logistics channels are tightening. Many of these sellers rely on Amazon's delivery and cross-border transportation infrastructure to move goods between Gulf countries. Amazon did not specify when delivery services in Abu Dhabi would be restored. The conflict between the U.S. and Iran in the region has also led to power outages at one of Amazon's data centers, which the company announced on Sunday. Amazon stated that it may take at least a day to repair the damage ### 相關股票 - [Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF (AMZW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/AMZW.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long AMZN Daily ETF (AMZZ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/AMZZ.US.md) - [Direxion Daily AMZN Bull 2X Shares (AMZU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/AMZU.US.md) - [Amazon (AMZN.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/AMZN.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [Amazon starts to 'monetize' speed as it tests a radical new all-day, 10-window delivery service](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280506154.md) - [Dr.BRID C Launches Next-Generation Biotech Skincare Line on Amazon](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280188774.md) - [Amazon Gets In Tesla's Turf, Acquires Fauna Robotics To Put 'Sprout' Humanoid In Your Living Room](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280481776.md) - [Amazon acquires startup Rivr to test robots for 'doorstep delivery'](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/279853605.md) - [Amazon (AMZN) Stock Stays Flat After Acquiring Rivr Robototics Startup](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/279979222.md)
