YPC’s spokesman: Coalition still holding three fuel ships

SANAA, Aug. 27 (YPA) – Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC) has confirmed on Friday that the Saudi-led coalition is currently holding three fuel ships, including two diesel ships for the electricity sector, all of which have United Nations permits.

In an interview with Almasirah TV, the spokesman of the YPC, Issam Al-Mutawakil, explained that it was agreed to enter 54 fuel ships, while only 33 ships have arrived since the start of the UN-sponsored truce.

He pointed out that the UN envoy and the United Nations did not move to pressure the aggression to enter the fuel ships.

Al-Mutawakil said: “We did not see a smooth entry of the oil ships, as the UN spokesman claimed, since the start of the truce.”

He added that the aggression and the United Nations restricted imports to Emirati ports and paid the price of ships in advance for the Emirati banks.

Criticizing the United Nations, he confirmed that it is only moving to collect financial aid, exploiting the war on Yemen, while not moving to lift the siege on them.
