News - Yemen: The Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC) confirmed that the US-Saudi aggression is still practicing its policy of distillation in releasing fuel ships despite the announced truce, as the diesel ambulance ship "Harvest" was released today.

The company said in a statement, that the diesel emergency "Daytona" has been detained for 15 days, which increases the suffering of the Yemeni people and raises the delay fines resulting its piracy.

The coalition of aggression continues its 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.
 
A suffocating fuel crisis in all governorates is experienced under the authority of Sana’a. Most of the important vital sectors, especially the health sector, are threatened with suspension, while work has been disrupted in many productive and service sectors, which caused economic losses of millions of dollars.
 
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.
