Safer Agreement Committee holds talks with UN resident humanitarian coordinator

SANAA, Oct. 05 (YPA) – The Supervisory Committee for the Implementation of the Urgent Maintenance Agreement and the Comprehensive Evaluation of the Safer Floating Reservoir held a video meeting with the Resident Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen, William David Gressly, to discuss accelerating the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding to resolve the issue of the Safer Floating Reservoir.

The committee stressed that time has become a decisive factor in preventing an environmental disaster in the Red Sea due to the continued deteriorating situation of the Safer Floating Reservoir.

 For his part, Gressly indicated that $82 million of the necessary funds had been collected to implement the memorandum of understanding signed on March 5, 2022.

 In the meeting, they decided to start the process of providing an alternative tank equivalent to the floating tank Safer, which will permanently replace it, as work will start during the next few days.
