A storm of Yemeni, Arab and international tweets is surging on social media and Twitter against the continued ban imposed by the Saudi-Emirati coalition on Yemeni airspace and on Sana’a International Airport.

The tweet campaign revealed the lack of legal justifications for this ban and closure, and the invalidity of the coalition’s excuses.

The campaign, which was launched on Friday evening, coincided with a vigil carried out by the Yemeni community in front of the United Nations headquarters in New York, in order to protest the closure of Sana’a airport and to demand it be reopened quickly to save lives of thousands of Yemeni patients.

The Ministry of Expatriates’ Affairs in the National Salvation Government called on all human rights activists to interact with the campaign to highlight the suffering of Yemenis in general and the patients in particular and the need to end the ban on the airport for humanitarian reasons.
