Human Rights condemns closure of Sana’a airport & targeting civilians in border areas

The Ministry of Human Rights strongly condemned the US-Saudi aggression coalition’s suspension of Yemeni Airlines flights through Sana’a International Airport to Jordan, and the continued crimes of the Saudi regime against the residents of the border areas.

The ministry said in a statement, a copy of which was received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), “At a time when the Yemenis were hoping that the siege and ban on Sana’a Airport would be completely lifted, the aggression coalition suspended Yemeni Airlines flights through Sana’a International Airport to Jordan, the only destination.”
The statement noted that the continuation of blackmail in the humanitarian file by the aggression coalition countries through their cheap tools with contrived excuses with the aim of entering into a meaningless, marginal controversy cannot change the reality of who makes the decision, and that the role of those tools is limited to implementing dictates, directives, and the evidence is many and documented since the beginning of the aggression until today.

The statement reminded that Sana’a International Airport is the main artery and airport of the Republic of Yemen, and the continued restriction of flights to and from it has condemned death to thousands of patients, deprivation of thousands of families, expatriates, students, and those stranded abroad, and the absence of many medicines, supplies, and medical solutions that were transported by air for incurable diseases.
The Ministry of Human Rights held the international community, and in the forefront the Security Council, fully responsible for all violations and crimes committed by the Saudi-led aggression coalition against the Yemeni people, and the continued targeting of them by killing, tampering with their capabilities, plundering their wealth, and depriving them of benefiting from them to pay employees’ salaries , improve their health and living conditions.

The statement added, “We were waiting for the United Nations and its Secretary-General to take a courageous stance for once, to stand with civilians and against the continuing violations of the aggression countries and to stop the abuse that has been ongoing for nine years against civilians, but to no avail.”
