Sana-Sana

The Yemeni Ministry of Health renewed the warning of a major health disaster due to the continued detention of the Saudi aggression coalition for oil derivatives ships and preventing them from reaching the port of Hodeidah.

The statement quoted the ministry as saying in a statement today that "preventing the aggression coalition of ships loaded with diesel and petroleum from accessing Hodeidah port to provide hospitals and other government and private health facilities with their requirements and needs foreshadows a major disaster in the health sector."

She explained that "the unjust siege on Yemen means a death sentence for hundreds of thousands of patients, if not millions, because all hospitals, health centers and medical devices will stop working when the sources of electricity supply that depend on oil derivatives stop." Diphtheria, malaria, dengue, H1N1 and others need many possibilities, especially the availability of oil derivatives.

The statement condemned the continued aggression of Saudi countries in preventing oil ships from entering Yemen despite inspections and granting them the necessary permits by the United Nations, stressing that "there is nothing justifying this rejection except the demonic desire to kill the Yemeni human by various ways and means."

The ministry called on the international community and international and international organizations to move quickly and press the aggression countries to lift the ban on ships and that the organizations working in Yemen to provide hospitals with the required quantities of oil to maintain the health situation.

The Yemeni Oil Company warned yesterday of the end of Yemen's oil reserves during the next few days due to the unjust siege imposed by the Saudi aggression coalition and not allowing oil ships to enter the port of Hodeidah.

The Saudi aggression continues to blockade the Yemeni people by land and sea, causing the death of more than 40 thousand patients who were prevented from traveling to receive treatment abroad amid the lack of medicines and tools to treat them as a result of the siege.
