The Employees of Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC) renewed the warning of an imminent humanitarian disaster as a result of the suspension of most of the service and vital sectors due to the continued detention of fuel ships by US-Saudi-Emirati aggression.
They demanded, in a protest, Tuesday, the United Nations to pressure the countries of aggression to lift the siege imposed on the Yemeni people, without any legal justification, and to quickly release the detained fuel ships.
A statement issued condemned the complicity of the UN and international community and their shameful silence regarding the arbitrary practices of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and its prevention of fuel ships from entering the port of Hodeidah despite obtaining UN permits.
It considered these arbitrary practices crimes against humanity and a flagrant violation of international laws, calling on the free people of the world to stand in solidarity with the Yemeni people, who are being subjected to US-Saudi aggression that targeted infrastructure and civilians and persisted in imposing a siege on various ports.
The statement appealed to work to lift the ban imposed on Sana’a International Airport, as it falls within the protected humanitarian division to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe against the Yemeni people, whose water, electricity, transportation, and some facilities and health centers have stopped.
The statement condemned the mercenaries’ continued looting of Shabwa governorate’s oil and selling it at exorbitant prices through the Jebel Ali port in Dubai.
The statement praised the anti-aggression activities through which the Yemeni people express their condemnation of maritime piracy on fuel ships.
Since June 2020, the aggression and its allied government have continued to prevent fuel ships from entering the port of Hodeidah, except for a few ships that entered the port with a large time difference between each ship. Most of the ships left the place where they were being held by the forces of aggression, with their full cargo, after accumulating delay fines, exceeding the price of the cargo.
The fuel stations announced that their stocks of oil had run out. Hundreds of vehicles stood in long queues in front of these stations, hoping that shipments of oil would arrive in the coming days. Meanwhile, representatives of commercial power stations told subscribers in several neighborhoods of the capital, Sana’a, that these stations will have to cut off the power for hours during the day and night, as a result of the lack of diesel running these stations.
