He said that "the total losses of the ministry's projects due to the US-Saudi aggression exceeded three billion and 665 million dollars."

Mr. Mutlaq added that the cost of dealing with the damages of the stalled road network, which needs maintenance as a result of the US-Saudi aggression, exceeds one billion and 675 million dollars. He explained that the number of bombed bridges exceeded 100 bridges at a cost of $462 million, noting that the US-Saudi aggression targeted roads and bridges more than once.

Minister Mutlaq confirmed that the criminal raids of the US-Saudi aggression caused killed and injured engineers and road maintenance workers while performing their work in the field.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal 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 and capabilities 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.
