News - Yemen: Yemeni officials and media outlets criticized on Tuesday the briefing of the UN envoy for Yemen before the Security Council on Monday.

The director of Sana'a International Airport, Khaled Al-Shayef, stated to Almasirah that the UN luvvie (envoy) did not mention in his briefing the failure of flights to Cairo or the reasons for that. He pointed out that the briefing of the UN luvvie was not the truth and was polishing the role of the UN envoy.

For his part, Minister of State in the Salvation government, Abdulaziz Al-Bukair, assured Almasirah that what Yemenis have been suffering from since the beginning of the aggression is the lack of impartiality of the United Nations.

"The United Nations is a partner in the suffering of the Yemeni people by covering the crimes of aggression and the continuation of the siege," Al-Bukair said, adding that the UN luvvie ignored looting wealth by the coalition of aggression and cutting the salaries of state workers.

In turn, the editor-in-chief of Al-Thawra newspaper, Abdulrahman Al-Ahnoumi, pointed out that the US-Saudi aggression's violations of the UN-sponsored truce exceeded 20,000 violations, and the UN luvvie deliberately ignored condemning them.

"The UN envoy ignored the Sana'a initiative to open roads; Rather, he called in his briefing to freeze it in a surprising position," he noted.

In early April, after Yemen’s Supreme Political Council declared a voluntary and unilateral three-day pause in retaliatory strikes against targets in Saudi Arabia, the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced the nationwide ceasefire, for the first time since 2016.

The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen's lifeline al-Hudaydah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana'a "to predetermined destinations in the region ."

However, in light of UN silence, the Saudi-led aggression was still obstructing flights to the Sana'a International Airport in Yemen’s capital and detaining fuel ships that were headed to the country. The fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside, including shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl.
 
In early June, the United Nations announced that Yemen’s National Salvation Government and the US-Saudi coalition have agreed to renew the two-month truce after days of negotiations and promises to fulfill the terms of the agreement.
 
The UN envoy noted that the truce was extended under the same terms as the previous one.

The United Nations continues to condone the crimes committed by the Saudi-led aggression. It only holds the coalition responsible for crimes when it seeks to blackmail the Kingdom and oblige it to pay millions of dollars. The UN is not concerned with the souls of the victims, as it provided cover for this aggression for years, and kept silent in the face of many of its criminal practices, whether through raids or sieges.
