YPC: 3 oil ships left detention area for destinations outside Yemen

SANAA, April 23 (YPA) – The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC)’s official spokesman, Essam Al-Mutawakel, said on Thursday that three oil ships left the detention area for destinations outside Yemen after the Saudi-led coalition prevented their access to Hodeida port several months ago.

Al-Mutawakel made it clear that five other fuel ships are still being held off the coast of Jizan, despite having obtained United Nations permits, “which have become clear that they ignore the suffering of Yemeni people.”
