Hodeidah Oil Company warns of humanitarian catastrophe
[24/ June/2020]

HODEIDAH, June. 23 (Saba) - The oil company's branch in Hodeidah province has renewed its warning of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe if the US-Saudi-Uae coalition continues to detain oil derivatives vessels.

The company's branch denounced the Saudi-led coalition abusive practices and mercenaries in the detention of oil derivatives vessels, despite being inspected in Djibouti and obtaining United Nations permits to reach the port of Hodeidah.

The company's branch statement, delivered today to the UN office in the province, noted that the forces of aggression continued to detain more than 15 ships at sea off the port of Hodeidah loaded with nearly 240,000 tons of gasoline and diesel three months ago and ships loaded with food, gas and diesel.

The statement stressed that the continuation of the crises of oil derivatives and their repercussions, has become a weapon for the countries of aggression to increase the suffering of the Yemeni people. He pointed out that the stock available at the company's branch facilities of gasoline and diesel has reached a critical stage and is not enough to supply the most important vital and service sectors.

He condemned the shameful silence of the international community, despite the widely recognized scale of the humanitarian disaster caused by the denial of access to oil derivatives and the impact on the sectors associated with the daily livelihood of citizens.

The statement of the oil company's branch in Hodeidah stressed the importance of the international community taking a clear stand against the collective punishment to which the Yemeni people are subjected by the countries of aggression. He blamed the United Nations and the Aggression Alliance for the repercussions of the complete shutdown of vital sectors as a result.
