Yemeni Petroleum Company, YPC, renewed the warning of an impending humanitarian catastrophe, after the supply of fuel to the service sectors was stopped due to the continued detention of fuel tankers by US-Saudi aggression.
In a statement, that was issued in a protest in front of the United Nations office in Sana’a, the employees of YPC called on the international community and the United Nations to hold the US-Saudi aggression responsible for the piracy on fuel ships and preventing their entry to the port of Hodeidah.
The statement indicated that the suffering of the Yemeni People is aggravated due to the mercenaries of the aggression blocking roads for the locomotives loaded with fuel in their areas of control and preventing them from entering other governorates.
The coalition of aggression continues to piracy, detaining fuel ships, and preventing them from entering the port of Hodeidah, despite obtaining permits from UN, which aggravates the humanitarian catastrophe due to the suspension of many vital service sectors, especially hospitals, electricity, water, cargo trucks, as well as waste trucks.
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.
