News - Yemen The Ministry of Electricity and Energy, the Petroleum Company and the owners of fuel stations organized a protest sit-in in front of the United Nations office in the capital, Sana’a, on Monday ​denouncing the US-Saudi siege on Yemen and the piracy on fuel ships.

The Ministry of Electricity and Energy and the Petroleum Company held the US-Saudi aggression and the United Nations responsible for stopping power stations and all health and service facilities as a result of running out of fuel stocks.

The protesters appealed to the international community and global conscience to put pressure on the coalition of aggression to neutralize service facilities from targeting and to allow entry to all seized fuel ships and not to piracy on them.

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 prevent 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.
