Minister of Health: UN Repudiated Transportation of Medical Aid from Oman to Yemen

Minister of Public Health and Population Taha Al-Mutawakkil, on Tuesday, accused the United Nations of renouncing its duty to transfer the shipment of medical aid provided by the Sultanate of Oman to Yemen, renouncing its obligation to provide medical aid to Yemen to confront the corona pandemic.

According to Saba News Agency, Al-Mutawakkil said that the aid shipment, which contains modern health equipment, advanced artificial respiration devices, means of protection and medicines, arrived at the Ministry of Health stores, after about three months of delaying their transportation from the Sultanate of Oman to Yemen.

The Minister of Public Health and Population valued the medical assistance provided by the Sultanate of Oman, the Islamic Republic of Iran and other countries in light of the suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of the aggression and the siege.

He called upon the Arab and Islamic countries and the free world to break the siege and initiate the provision of humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people, who today lack the necessary fuel to operate hospitals and health centers due to the coalition’s detaination of oil ships.

Al-Mutawakkil praised the efforts of the National Delegation and its prominent role in trying to provide humanitarian aid and ways of delivering it to Sana’a in cooperation with various international bodies, particularly the Sultanate of Oman, in light of manipulation and procrastination by the United Nations in providing the necessary needs for the health sector, which 93% of its equipment stopped due to the completion of its useful life after 6 years of aggression and siege.
