YPC: UN Collects Financial Aid, Exploiting War on Yemen, Not Moving to Lift Siege

Yemen Petroleum Company confirmed, Friday, that the US-Saudi aggression is currently holding three fuel ships, including two diesel ships for the electricity sector, all of which have United Nations permits.

In an interview with Almasirah TV, the spokesman of the Company, Issam Al-Mutawakil, explained that it was agreed to enter 54 fuel ships, while only 33 ships have arrived since the start of the UN-sponsored truce.

He pointed out that the UN envoy and the United Nations did not move to pressure the aggression to enter the fuel ships.

Al-Mutawakil said: “We did not see a smooth entry of the oil ships, as the UN spokesman claimed, since the start of the truce.”

He added that the aggression and the United Nations restricted imports to Emirati ports and paid the price of ships in advance for the Emirati banks.

Criticizing the United Nations, he confirmed that it is only moving to collect financial aid, exploiting the war on Yemen, while not moving to lift the siege on them.

The organizations of the United Nations issue every now and then many reports about the extent of the bad humanitarian situation in Yemen, reporting on malnutrition among children and pregnant mothers in order to collect financial donations.

The organizations do not talk about the effects of the war imposed on Yemen over the past eight years. Rather, they worked to mislead the international community by talking about a “civil conflict” away from the existence of a large international coalition waging a war on Yemenis.

Meeting the humanitarian needs of citizens and reporting on record levels on child malnutrition and the threat of famine in Yemen, as a result of what it describes as conflict, was the most common slogan promoted by the UN to obtain funds.

Observers said that the humanitarian aid donated by donor countries to Yemen is not a solution, stressing that the best solution is to stop the war on Yemen. They also indicated that the flow of financial aid from donor countries through organizations or the pro-aggression government has not changed anything over the past years.

Many international reports have confirmed that the organizations spend nearly 70% of the financial grants provided as aid to the Yemeni people on their operating expenses, while a report of the United Nations experts accused the pro-aggression government of corruption and money laundering.
