Protest vigil in Taiz condemns continued detention of oil ships

TAIZ, Aug. 19 (YPA) – The Yemen Petroleum Company’s branch in Taiz province on Tuesday organized a protest vigil in front of the company station in Hoban district to condemn the continued detention of fuel ships by Saudi-led coalition.

The participants denounced the silence of the United Nations and its complicity with the aggression forces in holding fuel and food ships.

A statement issued during the vigil called on the international community and the United Nations to assume their responsibility and pressure the aggression coalition to release the ships of fuel and food and not to hold them in the future.

The statement pointed out that the coalition continue to hold oil ships and prevent their entry to the port of Hodeidah, despite obtaining UN permits, which exacerbates the human suffering of the Yemeni people.
