News - Yemen:  The US-Saudi aggression detained new Gas Tanker, violating the UN-sponsored humanitarian and military truce, Yemeni Gas Company announced.

In a statement, the company said that the aggression detained the gas tanker "Lady Sara", which is loaded with 8230 tons of gas, despite its inspection and approved entry permits from the United Nations.

It explained that with the detention of the Lady Sara, the number of detained ships increased to three fuel tankers. 

On Tuesday, the official spokesman for the Yemen Petroleum Company, Issam Al-Mutawakil, stated that in conjunction with the release of the diesel ship "Princess Khadijah", the gasoline ship "Ann Fectos" was seized in a new and clear violation of the UN-sponsored truce. 

Despite the ongoing UN-sponsored truce, the coalition of aggression continues its piracy, detaining fuel ships, and preventing them from entering the port of Hodeidah, despite having undergone inspection and received UN clearance.

He pointed out that the US-Saudi aggression forcibly took Ann Fectos off the coast of Jizan, despite its inspection and obtaining UN entry permits, stressing that the United Nations did not put an end to piracy, whether before or during the announced truce.

This violation aggravates the humanitarian catastrophe due to the suspension of many vital service sectors, especially hospitals, electricity, water, cargo trucks, as well as waste trucks.

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.

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.
