Minister of Transport: US-Saudi Aggression, UN Complicating Humanitarian Situation
The Minister of Transport, Major General Abdulwahhab Al-Durra, talked about the obstacles imposed by the US-Saudi aggression and the UN with regard to the humanitarian situation in Yemen.
“Whenever we reach technical understandings with other countries that wish to operate flights to and from Sana’a Int. Airport, the the US-Saudi aggression begins to be obstructed,” he said.
He stressed that coordination has been made with the Jordanian and Egyptian aviation authorities, and they are ready to expand Amman flights and open Cairo flights for any airlines. He also made it clear that the US-Saudi aggression is trying to link the human rights and humanitarian issue to the political negotiations.
The Minister of Transport also revealed that the Egyptian team was scheduled to arrive in Sana’a to arrange for the airlines to operate between Yemen and Egypt but the UN did not allow for visit to take place.
On another issue regarding improving the situation of Red Sea ports the Minister said that “the UN Development Program signed an agreement with the mercenaries to reduce insurance cost, and it did not include the Red Sea ports, and this is a big mistake because the role of the UN is only effective if it includes all the Yemeni people,” he said.
Earlier, the Minister of Transport, Abdulwahhab Al-Durra, confirmed that the worsening humanitarian situation in Yemen is caused by the illegal siege imposed on Sana’a International Airport by the US-Saudi aggression and its mercenaries in Aden.
He stressed the need to allow international airlines to operate flights through Sana’a International Airport to several international destinations in accordance with international laws and charters.
The Minister of Public Works and Roads affirmed that Sana’a International Airport provides its humanitarian services to all Yemeni people, especially patients who suffer from serious diseases that are difficult to treat in the country as a result of the aggression and siege.
