Saudi-led coalition airports are potential targets: Spokesman

SANAA, June 10 (YPA) – The head of Yemen’s national delegation, spokesman Mohammed Abdel Salam, on Sunday called on the United Nations to lift air blockade against Sanaa International Airport that imposed by the Saudi-led aggression coalition since 2016.

He stressed that the United Nations was responsible for the death of the Secretary-General of the Union of Popular forces, Professor Mohammed al-Roba’ai, whose health condition had required an urgent treatment abroad.

“We have repeatedly addressed the United Nations about the case of Mr. Mohammed al-Roba’ai, who needed for treatment abroad, but unfortunately it did not respond in submission to the wishes of the Saudi Kingdom which keep the Sanaa International airport under blockade,” Abdel Salam said in a tweet.

“This is what cannot be tolerated indefinitely,” he said, referring to the continued closure of Sanaa Airport.

On Sunday, the Union of Popular forces mourned the death of the activist and national figure Mohammed Abdel Rahman al-Roba’ai, Secretary-General of the Union and a member of the Supreme Council of the Union after long suffering with the disease.

In the face of the insistence of the states of aggression on the continuation of their raids and the closure of the land, sea and airports, the head of the national delegation stressed that the airports of the countries of aggression are potential targets, and closing or paralyzing the movement of these airports are the closest way to break the siege on Sanaa Airport
