“Safer” Agreement Committee discontent of UNs’ repudiation of the implementation of the urgent maintenance agreement

The Supervisory Committee for the Implementation of the Urgent Maintenance Agreement and the Comprehensive Assessment of the Safer Floating Reservoir renewed its strong dissatisfaction with the continued disregard by the United Nations of its obligations towards the reservoir.

As well as the continued disavowal by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) from the implementation of the urgent maintenance agreement and the comprehensive evaluation of the floating tank Safer, which was signed in November 2020.

In a statement, the committee warned of the repercussions of the deterioration of the situation of the Safer reservoir, after nearly seven years had passed without any maintenance of the reservoir.

This may make the level of an environmental disaster in the Red Sea much greater than ever, which will affect Yemen and neighboring countries for many years.
