YPC Renews Call to Stop Piracy on Fuel Ships

 The employees of Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC) renewed their calls on the international community and international humanitarian organizations to stop the sea piracy of the US-Saudi aggression on fuel ships.

They confirmed, in a protest sit-in, Tuesday, which was attended by the Executive Director of the YPC, Ammar Al-Adrai, that United Nations and the Red Sea pirates are partners in seizing fuel ships.

They condemned the practices of the US-Saudi forces in seizing oil ships and doubling the suffering of the Yemeni people.

They appealed to the free people of the world to stand by the Yemeni people, and to pressure towards allowing the entry of fuel ships, to alleviate human suffering.

The YPC spokesman, Issam Al-Mutawakel, blamed the US-Saudi aggression and United Nations for the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Yemen.

He pointed out that continuing to prevent the entry of fuel ships has major consequences and damages to the service sectors, and leads to a decline in the provision of services, especially health, water, transportation and others.

Al-Mutawakil explained that US-Saudi aggression coalition is still holding four oil ships, for varying periods, which amounted to more than eight months for the currently detained ships.

He pointed out that seized ships include two ships carrying gas and two fuel ships with a total tonnage of 59,707 tons of gasoline and diesel.

The spokesman of YPC denounced the international silence, and the complicity of the international community, bodies and organizations with the forces of aggression in preventing the entry of fuel ships to the port of Hodeidah
