Sanaa FM: Israeli enemy attempts to cover up its military failure by attacking on service facilities
SANAA, Sept. 18 (YPA) – Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the Sanaa government, Abdul Wahid Abu Ras, affirmed on Wednesday that the repeated Zionist aggression on the ports of Ras Issa, and Salif of Hodeida aimed to exacerbate the humanitarian suffering of the Yemeni people, after it failed to achieve any military victory.
This came a letter he sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the President of the Security Council, all UN Member States, the European Union, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General to Yemen.
The letter included the crime the Zionist enemy entity committed in targeting the port of Hodeida with a series of raids.
He said while the Security Council was holding a session to hear the regular briefing of the UN envoy to Yemen, the Zionist enemy attacked the port of Hodeida.
the minister considered the Zionist aggression on the port of Hodeida a flagrant and blatant violation of Yemen’s sovereignty, the international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and the Additional Protocol of 1977, which criminalizes attacks on facilities indispensable to people.
He pointed out that the port of Hodeida is a lifeline for millions of Yemenis, through which almost 80 percent of the country’s food, medicine, fuel, and basic commodities be imported, adding that the Israeli enemy is trying to make serious repercussions, deepen the humanitarian crisis the Yemeni people have been suffering from for ten years, and exacerbating food insecurity, in addition to obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid, by the repeated aggression on the port.
The minister’s latter stressed the need for the international community to fulfill its legal and moral role in condemning the cowardly aggression and compelling the Zionist entity to end its aggression against Yemen.
He reiterated that the Zionist actions will not deter Yemen from its strong stance in support of Gaza, but will rather increase the pace of its military operations.
