YPC staff warn of imminent disaster due to coalition piracy on fuel ships

The employees of the Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) on Tuesday renewed the warning of an imminent humanitarian disaster, after the supply of fuel to the service sectors was interrupted due to the continued detention of oil derivatives ships by the Saudi-led coalition.

The company’s staff issued a statement in a protest vigil in front of the United Nations office in Sanaa, calling on the international community and the United Nations to bear responsibility towards the coalition countries’ piracy on fuel ships and preventing their entry to the port of Hodeida.

The statement noted the suffering of the Yemeni people has aggravated due to the coalition mercenaries’ blocking the road in front of the locomotives loaded with oil derivatives in their areas of control and preventing them from entering the free provinces.

“These practices have caused the prices of gasoline and diesel to rise to fanciful levels as a result of the levies that are added by the aggression mercenaries, which are collected at their military points,” the statement explained.

The statement denounced the United Nations’ shameful silence on the crimes, violations and suffering that the Yemeni people are subjected to as a result of the shortage of fuel supplies and the cessation of most service sectors.

In the vigil, the participants condemned the coalition’s bombing of Hodeida oil facility, warning the aggression coalition against targeting the Yemeni Oil Company, its facilities, stations, and the stations of its agents.
