The Yemeni Petroleum Company  (YPC) confirmed that the fines of detaining oil derivative ships by the US-Saudi aggression during the year 2021 amounted to 32 million dollars, equivalent to 19 billion riyals.

The company’s spokesman, Essam Al-Mutawakel, stated that the Yemeni people also incurred fines for detaining fuel ships during the past year, which reached 91 million dollars, equivalent to 54 billion riyals.

Al-Mutawakel said, during a protest stand by the employees of the YPC, on Friday, in front of the United Nations office in Sana’a on Friday, that “the historical truth: The aggression is holding ships for essential imports and looking for our people to obtain humanitarian aid.”

He explained that the situation in Yemen has become catastrophic as a result of the continued detention of oil derivative ships.

“We only hear from the United Nations or the international community condemnations, media statements and a feeling of anxiety, but the situation in Yemen has become disastrous today and it does not bear feelings of anxiety or statements,” he added.

He indicated that during the era of the previous US administration, the siege on oil derivatives increased, and since the Biden administration reached the White House, it imposed a complete blockade and sentenced the Yemeni people to death.
