UN envoy admits that ships face difficulties in reaching Hodeidah port: SPC Member

SANAA, April 17 (YPA) – Member of the Supreme Political Council (SPC) Mohammed al-Houthi on Tuesday said the UN envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths has admitted that merchant ships face difficulties in reaching the port of Hodeidah, which led higher fuel prices.

“This recognition and defining the problem by the envoy, in his briefing to the UN Security Council, is not a solution,” said al-Houthi in a tweet on his Twitter account.

He added that the continuation of holding the oil derivatives ships by the US-British-Saudi-UAE aggression and its allies is a convicted war crime.

Al-Houthi pointed out that the UN envoy has not yet provided any humanitarian action for what he spoke about during his first visit.

He added:”Instead of opening the airport, meeting the promise of paying the salaries, lifting the blockade and some other humanitarian steps or confidence building steps, he went too far in his briefing, referring only  to others. We are seriously looking at a negative behavior being taken.”
