Over $12.3 B losses in transport sectors due to aggression, siege

Deputy Prime Minister for National Vision Affairs Mahmoud al-Junaid stressed on Tuesday the importance of the pivotal and vital role of the transport sector in its various fields in developing the national economy and moving the wheel of development.

During a press conference held by the Ministry of Transport in Sana’a, al-Junaid pointed out to the destruction that the ministry and its affiliated sectors were subjected to by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition to disrupt the vital role of this sector and the air, land and sea navigation services it provides at the local and international levels.

He stressed that the international silence on the crimes of aggression and the siege against the Yemeni people is evidence of complicity and participation in those crimes.

Minister of Transport Abdul Wahab al-Durrah revealed that the total initial damages and losses caused by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and blockade from March 2015 until June 2022 amounted to $12.3 billion.
