Deputy Prime Minister for Services and Development Hussein Maqboli discussed on Monday, with United Nations Resident Representative, the Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, William Grisley, the repercussions of the continued aggression and siege on the Yemeni people.

The meeting touched on the importance of the United Nations taking a position regarding the non-compliance of the aggression countries to implement the declared truce, their detention of oil derivatives ships, and the failure to open Sana’a airport in the presence of many of patients who urgently need to travel for treatment abroad.

The human and material damage caused by the rains and torrents was also discussed, without the United Nations doing anything about it, in addition to the failure to provide support to the civil defense by providing the necessary equipment and needs to face the damage caused by the torrents, especially the damage caused to historical cities, especially the old city of Sana’a and others without providing any assistance from the United Nations to help in facing these damages.

They also discussed aspects related to the repercussions of the aggression countries’ continuation in preventing the entry of oil derivatives and foodstuff ships to the port of Hodeida on the health, service and environmental fields.

Maqboli pointed to the great human suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of the intransigence of the countries of aggression not to open Sana’a International Airport and the port of Hodeida in a way that meets the needs of the Yemeni people.

He pointed out that the Yemeni people are suffering from an unparalleled humanitarian crisis due to the failure to open Sana’a airport and the port of Hodeida and the detention of oil derivatives ships by the aggression.

He held the aggression and the United Nations fully responsible for the continuation of the aggression and siege on Yemen.
