SANAA, June 13 (Saba) - Minister of Industry and Trade Abdulwahab Yahya al-Durrah on Saturday affirmed that the detention of fuel and food vessels by Saudi-led aggression coalition is a flagrant violation of norms, covenants and international humanitarian law, which portends a humanitarian catastrophe.
“The aggression coalition's holding of ships of oil derivatives and foodstuffs is a major crime against the Yemeni people,” the minister said.
He pointed out that the continued aggression and blockade on Yemen and the holding of oil derivatives ships would lead to the suspension of all vital sectors related to the daily lives of citizens, such as health, water, sanitation, electricity, and food and pharmaceutical industries, in addition to worsening the economic and living conditions of citizens and increasing the spread of diseases and epidemics, especially in light of the Corona pandemic.
The minister called for the immediate release of oil derivatives that have been held for months by the aggression coalition.
He stressed the necessity of neutralizing the economy and accepting the initiatives launched by the Supreme Political Council, the National Salvation Government and the commercial and industrial chambers in this regard.
