SANA’A, Mar. 30 (Saba) - The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) confirmed on Wednesday that the continuation of piracy on fuel ships in the Red Sea and not allowing them to enter the port of Hodeida undermines all desired peace efforts in Yemen.
The Executive Director of the company, Ammar Al-Adhra'i, told the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that the piracy on oil derivatives ships by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition is a collective punishment and a violation of international laws, as fuel is linked to the daily lives of citizens.
Meanwhile, the company's official spokesman, Issam Al-Mutawakel, indicated that the oil company had sent letters during the previous period to the UN envoy, Hans Grundberg, reminding him of the humanitarian situation of the Yemeni people due to the acute shortage of fuel.
Al-Mutawakel stressed that so far, the UN envoy has not moved and has not released the ships held by the US-Saudi aggression coalition, even though they were subjected to inspection.
