Presser that appeals for immediate lift for Saudi ban in fuel

Yemen is grappling with a fresh fuel shortage, making life even harder for ordinary civilians in the war-torn country.
In the capital Sana’a, long lines at petrol stations mean that drivers have to wait for days to refill their vehicles.
Ordinary Yemenis say they cannot deal with another fuel crisis.
Predicting that the worse is yet to come, Yemen’s Oil Company held a press conference near the UN's office in Sana'a to raise the alarm.
Transport and delivery services as well as water facilities have already been affected by the fuel shortage.
Lifesaving services at hospitals are also in danger due to the shortage.
Saudi Arabia’s blockade and its restrictions on the import of fuel into the poor country have caused numerous fuel shortages in Yemen.
Last week, United Nations aid chief Mark Lowcock expressed concern about new regulations that had further complicated the import of commercial fuel.
The fuel shortage caused by Saudi Arabia’s blockade is deepening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, with far-reaching consequences. Rights groups here say Saudi Arabia is trying to make up for its losses on the battlefield with restrictive measures which only harm Yemeni civilians.
