News - Yemen: The head of the Supreme Medical Committee revealed that 12 patients died within 30 days since the start of the UN-sponsored truce, while they were waiting for the alleged flights promised by the United Nations and the coalition of aggression.

In a press statement,  Dr. Mutahar Al-Darwish expressed his regret for the aggression’s repudiation of the opening of Sana’a Airport in accordance with the two-month truce announced by the United Nations, despite the expiry of half the period, and Sana’a Airport is still closed to patients and humanitarian cases.

He considered the Saudi-led aggression's repudiation of the implementation of the truce regarding Sana’a International Airport, a heinous crime against humanity and life.

Dr. Al-Darwish pointed out the falsehood of the allegations of international organizations about humanity and aiding innocent civilians, by identifying them with the aggression's prevention of giving permission to Yemeni Airlines to land at Sana'a International Airport. This negatively affected the psyche of patients, especially after completing their travel procedures to Amman.

The head of the Medical Committee appealed to the free people of the world and all international and humanitarian organizations to assume their responsibility towards the Yemeni people and patients to save their lives and not to submit to the dictates of the Saudi-led aggression against patients and humanity.

In early April, the UN envoy to Yemen announced a UN-sponsored humanitarian truce for a period of two months. The truce, meant to halt all military operations in the country and bring the foreign military invasion to an end, came into effect on April 2.
 
The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen’s lifeline Hodeidah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana’a "to predetermined destinations in the region."
 
Nearly a month has passed for the entry into effect of the humanitarian and military truce brokered by the UN, but without significant progress.
 
The airport is still deserted and has not received any flights, in light of the obstacles created by the coalition of aggression. The past few weeks was supposed to witness at least two commercial flights a week to and from Sana'a International Airport.
 
Well-informed sources in Sana'a say that there are complications by the aggression side, in light of its insistence on taking over the issuance of passports and visas.
 
The matter also applies to the port of Hodeidah. While the countries of aggression were supposed to facilitate the smooth flow of ships to the port, under the truce, the inspecting ships are still subject to inspection, and are detained off the coast of Jizan despite obtaining UN permits and licenses.
 
On the ground, the fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside. Shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl, including a failed advance carried out by mercenaries towards Army and Popular Committee sites south of Marib.
 
All indicators do not serve the steadfastness of the humanitarian and military truce, and provide evidence that Sana’a continues to exercise restraint, in the face of heterogeneous parties that do not abide or respect their commitments to a truce sponsored by the UN.
