The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) on Thursday stated that the Saudi-led coalition is continuing its economic war on the Yemeni people by detaining two fuel ships even after they have obtained licenses from the United Nations.

The company said, in a statement that was delivered to an official source, that by this taken action of the coalition is an act of opposition against the recent resolution of the UN Security Council, which stressed that all obstacles must stop and ease the flow of commercial and humanitarian supplies, including oil derivatives to Yemen.

According to the statement, the coalition has held the ship “Queen Reem”, which holds the permit No. (82650) from the United Nations on 12/12/2018, and the ship “Karp Deim”, which also obtained the UN. Permit No. (31286) on 24/12/2018.

The company called on the United Nations to stop these practices and to make it clear to the world that the coalition is hindering Sweden’s agreement and defying Security Council resolution 2451.
