The Minister of Information and the spokesman of the National Salvation Government Ahmed Hamed expressed his denouncing the fact that the United Nations had been subjected to the pressures and dictates of the Saudi-American aggression to prevent the entry of press teams and international media into Yemen through United Nations aviation to cover the disastrous humanitarian situation that the Yemeni provinces are undergoing as a result of the Saudi- led coalition aggression, blockade and the spread of diseases and epidemics that have claimed the lives of thousands of Yemeni people in different provinces.
In a statement, the minister confirmed that the UN has not managed to allow dozens of media teams, which have been granted work permits by the Ministry of Information, to enter Yemen to cover the humanitarian situation since late December 2016 and Tuesday July 18, 2017 as a result of pressures from the aggression’s forces that blocked UN flight from Djibouti to Sana’a yesterday because the BBC crew was on that flight.
Minister of information condemned the excuses and allegations of the aggression’s States and its mercenaries attempt to justify their crimes and violations of international laws to prevent the entry of journalists and international media into Yemen.
Many press teams and international media had already visited the areas under the control of the army and popular committees and had seen the stable security situation and not record any case of abuse or harassment, and the reports published by those international media teams, through their various media outlets, attests to the falsehood of those false allegations, he added
