News – Yemen: The Deputy Foreign Minister, Hussein Al-Ezzi, said in response to the spokesman of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression, regarding militarization of Hodiedah's port, that the UN mission has been carrying out periodic visits to the ports of Hodeidah on a daily and weekly basis since the Stockholm Agreement.

Al-Ezzi expressed his surprise by what he described as "the boldness of the aggression’s spokesman" in presenting the accusations with now evidence to support them.

He explained that Sana'a has sent dozens of messages to the United Nations regarding the transfer and application of the UNIFEM mechanism to the port of Hodeidah, noting that the coalition of aggression is working to obstruct the arrival of the UNIFEM mechanism to the 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.
