SANAA, Oct. 20 (YPA) – Spokesman for the Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC), Issam Al-Mutawakel, said on Wednesday that $165 million is looted from Yemeni oil revenues monthly while Yemeni people are suffering from an economic crisis.

“We are suffering from a systematic looting operation by the aggression mercenaries and run by the Saudi-led coalition countries targeting the wealth of the Yemeni people,” Al-Mutawakel told Al-Masirah TV channel.

He explained that marine ships came from the UAE are stationed in Yemeni ports to carry out theft operations of Yemeni oil.
