News - Yemen: The US-Saudi aggression and Saudi-backed government are blocking many roads, says Minister of Transport on Saturday.

Abdulwahab Al-Durra explained that the US-Saudi aggression's cutting off the main roads in a number of governorates pushed the locomotives to take other more expensive and difficult roads.

He pointed out that the Yemeni people are victims of delay fines that result from the seizure of locomotives at the closed land ports of the US-Saudi aggression and Saudi-backed government.

"We appealed to the United Nations that the truce should include the opening of all roads, crossings and ports, because land transport plays a key role in alleviating the suffering of citizens," he said.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the claim of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
