Al-Adhra’i: 95% of Gas stations stopped and Oil ship detention fines exceed $50 million

SANAA, Oct. 9 (YPA) -The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC)’s Executive Director Ammar al-Adhra’i on Friday confirmed that Saudi-led coalition is still holding 17 oil ships at sea, noting that the delay fines exceeded 50 million dollars equivalent to one billion Yemeni riyals.

His remarks came during a vigil protest organized by employees of the YPC in front of the UN office in Sanaa after Friday prayers entitled “You will not achieve the victory be the siege.”

He said 99.5% of the gas stations have stopped operating and only seven stations out of 2017 are functioning.

Al-Adhra’i pointed out that the coalition is pushing its mercenaries to loot and reserve gas trailers coming from the company’s branches in the provinces.

He pointed out that the initial indicators of the losses suffered by the Yemeni people as a result of the detention of oil ships in 2020 amounted to two billion riyals.

The official held the united nations and allied countries responsible for the consequences of the continued detention of oil vessels and the denial of entry into the port of Hodeidah.

Meanwhile, a statement issued by the protesters, calling on the United Nations to put more pressures on the  the coalition  to launch oil ships, lift the embargo on Sanaa International Airport and the port of Ras Issa and neutralize the economy from targeting.
