Seizure of Yemeni fuel ships by the Saudi coalition

The Riyadh-led coalition continues to seize ships carrying Yemeni fuel in the wake of the economic war against the Yemenis, adding to the suffering of the Yemeni people.

According to al-Masira, the Yemeni Oil Company announced that the US-Saudi coalition forces are still seizing four ships carrying fuel, including two ships carrying gas.

The statement said: The Saudi coalition insists on seizing oil tankers carrying more than 60,000 liters of gasoline and diesel, and the process has been going on for more than eight months.

The Saudi coalition is moving to deepen the economic crisis and the livelihood of the Yemenis by intensifying the siege and preventing fuel ships from reaching the port of Al-Hudaidah.

On the other hand, Ammar al-Azrai, the executive director of the Yemeni Oil Company, reported that the Saudi coalition had looted Yemeni crude oil and deposited its proceeds in a Saudi bank at a time when Yemenis were suffering from a shortage of petroleum products.

He added: Lenji from Al-Fujairah is looting Yemeni oil. Saudi coalition forces are responsible for looting and selling Yemeni oil and liquefied natural gas.

Al-Azraee said: The Saudi coalition is not content with this, and it prevents the entry of gas from Marib as well as the ships carrying fuel, and it targets the livelihood of the Yemenis.

Criticizing the UN silence on the seizure of fuel-carrying ships and the continuing siege of Yemen, he added: More than 763 protest rallies were held in front of the UN headquarters in Sanaa, but no one was heard.

It should be noted that health and housing officials in Yemen stressed that the continued obstruction of the Saudi coalition from the entry of oil ships into the main ports has created a difficult and catastrophic humanitarian situation.

The situation threatens the continued operation of 400 government hospitals, where thousands of patients receive medical care.

These patients traveled abroad for treatment before the war, but the policy of economic blockade and further closure of ports and land and air bases, including Sanaa International Airport, has caused thousands of patients to seek medical treatment inside the country.

But despite the closure of hospitals and the difficulty of supplying the petroleum products needed to set it up, the situation has become more difficult.
