YPC: total released quantities of diesel and gasoline not as stated in the OCHA report

The Executive Director of the Yemen Petroleum Company, Eng. Ammar Al-Adrai, said that the total released quantities of diesel and gasoline during the past three months amounted to 139 thousand tons, not exceeding 15% of the actual need in the normal situation.

Al-Adrai explained that the released quantity is less than one-third of the stated amount in the OCHA report since the rest of the released vessels have belonged to the private sector factories.

“The amount of released quantities of petrol and diesel for 110 days, since May, covers only 11% of the actual need of diesel and 20% of gasoline,” he said.

He pointed out that the aggression coalition is still detaining 19 oil tankers, including two ships that are loaded with diesel and two ships of gas.

And he indicated that 15 oil tankers that are loaded by 409 thousand and 55 tons of gasoline and diesel were detained some of them for more than five months.

The Arab coalition, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, has tended to escalate its economic war and pressure with the land, sea, and air blockade paper, in an attempt to impose its dictates and its agenda that it sought to achieve through its continuous war on Yemen since 2015.
