Yemeni Prime Minister Abdul Aziz Saleh bin Habtoor renewed his demand for the United Nations, the Security Council and the international community to bear legal and moral responsibility for the arbitrariness practiced by the Saudi coalition by repeatedly seizing ships of oil derivatives for long periods.

This came during his meeting with the Yemeni Minister of Oil and Minerals, Ahmed Abdullah Dars, and the Executive Director of the Yemeni Oil Company, Ammar al-Adrai, where the Prime Minister referred to the disastrous effects of the humiliating arbitrariness of the coalition against the UN monitoring mechanism on the various components of the daily life of Yemenis, at the forefront of which are the public health, water and environment services.

During the meeting, they discussed the supply situation of oil derivatives in light of the continuing crisis of oil derivatives fabricated by the coalition countries by continuing to seize ships at sea and preventing their access to the port of Hodeidah.

Minister Dars talked about the critical situation of oil derivatives in the local market as a result of the hostile act against the Yemeni people, as well as the results of the meeting with the Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, Liz Grande, regarding the implications of seizing oil derivatives ships on the daily life of citizens, as well as the mechanism of work in the ministry and the company in coordination with other parties in facilitating the entry of ships to the port and the established distribution mechanism.

In turn, the executive director of the oil company indicated that today, Tuesday, is the 500th day of a sit-in in front of the United Nations office to demand intervention to release the ships of oil derivatives.

He indicated that the last ship that entered the port of Hodeidah was seized for 86 days, indicating that the quantity released during this period represents 15 percent of the actual need for diesel and 22 percent of the actual need for gasoline.
