US-Saudi Aggression Continues to Prevent Entry of Fuel
The Presidency of Parliament held meeting to face the catastrophic repercussions of preventing the fuel ships entry by the US-Saudi aggression.
Al-Rahi called on the UN to send a delegation to Yemen to examine the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe resulting from the aggression and siege, and to give the humanitarian issue in Yemen even some of the attention it gives to Ukraine.
The Presidency of Parliament held the US-Saudi aggression responsible for the aggravation of human suffering as a result of the blockade and piracy on fuel tankers, stressing the importance of opening Sana’a Int. airport and the port of Hodeidah as humanitarian outlets for tens of millions of our Yemeni people.
The Parliament called on the Yemeni people to interact with the ‘Yemen Hurricane’ mobilization campaign confronting the aggression, warning against the plots aimed at serving the US-Saudi aggression.
A fuel crisis afflicts all Yemen’s governorates, as a result of the procedures imposed by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and the pro-aggression government. They continue their piracy, detaining fuel ships, and preventing them from entering the port of Hodeidah, despite obtaining permits from UN, which aggravates the humanitarian catastrophe due to the suspension of many vital service sectors, especially hospitals, electricity, water, cargo trucks, as well as waste trucks.
Since June 2020, the aggression and its allied government have continued to prevent fuel ships from entering the port of Hodeidah, except for a few ships that entered the port with a large time difference between each ship. Most of the ships left the place where they were being held by the forces of aggression, with their full cargo, after accumulating delay fines, exceeding the price of the cargo.
The coalition’s detention of dozens of fuel ships during more than a year and a half, and preventing them from entering the port of Hodeidah, despite being subject to inspection in accordance with the approved UN inspection and verification mechanism, and having obtained all the necessary permits from the UN inspection mission, caused a suffocating fuel crisis in all governorates. under the authority of Sana’a. Most of the important vital sectors, especially the health sector, are threatened with suspension, while work has been disrupted in many productive and service sectors, which caused economic losses of millions of dollars.
The fuel stations announced that their stocks of oil had run out. Hundreds of vehicles stood in long queues in front of these stations, hoping that shipments of oil would arrive in the coming days. Meanwhile, representatives of commercial power stations told subscribers in several neighborhoods of the capital, Sana’a, that these stations will have to cut off the power for hours during the day and night, as a result of the lack of diesel running these stations.
