USA: Hampered the humanitarian aid mission in Yemen

USA: Hampered the humanitarian aid mission in Yemen


The humanitarian aid to the population of Yemen - which is facing a humanitarian crisis - delayed by the alliance led by Saudi Arabia, which has warned merchant ships to stay away from areas of conflict.

The population of Yemen is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises, as stated by the United Nations. Attempts sending humanitarian aid have been hindered by conflicts with airports and ports remain blocked for a long time.

The report released Wednesday released by the US Navy and reveals the news agency Reuters stresses that warships of saoudoaravikis alliance harbor Chonteinta the Red Sea "sent a warning signal to merchant ships to keep distance from the areas of business" .

"Only vessels with valid licenses will mooring allowed in the areas of the port, all the rest will be removed," said the message according to the report.

As noted, the Yemeni government gave its permission for ships to enter the harbor, but the alliance prevented, thus indicating a potential "gap" between the government and Arab allies.

The representative of the Alliance Brigadier Ahmed Usher denied that the warships of the alliance sent messages aimed at preventing the call of merchant ships.

As stated by the Alliance calls upon crews to undergo such a check by members of warships for possible weapons efforts to transfer the forces of Shiite rebel Hutus.

At the same time urged the international humanitarian organizations to go to Yemen and to open offices to accelerate the delivery of humanitarian assistance.

"We would like to see any obstacles are erected by the coalition to remove to allow fast and efficient arrival of humanitarian items and emergency fuel," said the representative of the United Nations Stephane Ntoutzarits reporters.

"We appeal to those who make more complicated the delivery of aid, to make it less complicated," said Ntoutzarits, noting that a United Nations plan for the inspection of humanitarian cargo in an accelerated effort of missions has not yet come into operation due to lack of funding.

Yemen received in September only 1% of the monthly needs in commercial fuels and have received loads since the country's president pledged before the UN a week ago to allow cargo deliveries of humanitarian aid, said Monday the world body.

In communication with Reuters, the port officials in Chonteinta stated that two commercial ships entered the harbor, with a carrying rice and cement and other transfer vehicles.

The Asher said the two ships docked late Tuesday, third is waiting outside the port, while a further five ships inspected and allowed to continue their progress towards the Chonteinta.
