News - Yemen: The Administrative Board of the Union of Workers and Employees of the Works and Roads Office and its branches in Sana’a condemned the continued detention of fuel ships by the US-led aggression coalition and preventing them from reaching the port of Hodeidah.

A statement issued by the protest, organized by the authority on Monday in cooperation with the Yemen Petroleum Company, in front of the United Nations office in Sana’a, confirmed that the continued detention of fuel ships will lead to the suspension of more than 127 equipment, between heavy and light. These equipment are distributed over incision works, lighting, repairs, equipment, technical inspection, waste removal and emergency work. .

The statement denounced the shameful international silence that confirms the involvement of the United Nations and the Security Council in the crimes that the coalition of aggression committed and continues to commit against the Yemeni people.

It called on the United Nations to play its role and expedite the necessary measures that would allow oil ships to enter the port of Hodeidah. It holds the international community and humanitarian and international organizations fully responsible for the consequences of seizing oil derivatives ships.

A statement issued by the Petroleum Company denounced the shameful UN silence towards the abusive practices of the US-Saudi aggression and maritime piracy on fuel ships.

It considered the continued detention of fuel ships a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian charters and norms. It holds the United Nations, the international community and humanitarian organizations responsible for the continued suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of the aggression and siege.

The statement demanded the release of all detained oil ships and work to neutralize the Petroleum Company and its facilities, stations and agents' stations from the systematic targeting of the coalition of aggression and to lift the ban on Sana'a International Airport and Ras Issa port.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The seven years and half of war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure. Yemeni people are facing malnutrition, hunger, and famine, which have increased risks of disease and starvation.

As part of its economic war, the US-Saudi aggression worked to drain about 97% of the Yemeni state’s resources, either by controlling them militarily such as oil and gas sources, freezing Yemeni foreign assets and transferring them to mercenaries and financing coalition operations, or imposing siege on the vital port of Hodeidah and the most important port after Aden, which is still in the grip of Sana’a and out of control of the aggression.

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.
