News - Yemen: The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) confirmed that, Sunday, the US-Saudi aggression had detained a new fuel ship and prevented it from reaching the port of Hodeidah.

The official spokesman for the Yemeni Petroleum company, Issam Al-Mutawakel, stated that the US-Saudi aggression detained the ship "Viviana", which was carrying 30,314 tons of diesel, and prevented it from entering the port of Hodeidah despite its inspection and obtaining UN permits.

He pointed out that the US-Saudi aggression is still practicing piracy on fuel ships, ignoring all efforts aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of the blockade and preventing ships from entering the port of Hodeidah.

The spokesman of YPC renewed the demand of the international community, Security Council, and international human rights to pressure the US-Saudi aggression and oblige it not to practice piracy on fuel ships.

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.
