The aggression coalition continues to impose the siege on Sanaa Airport, and the increase in flights within the only destination is ashes of ash in the eyes, and reflects the lack of confidence in an enemy that does not respect agreements during the period of de-escalation, let alone international law and human rights.

The Minister of Transport, Major General Abdul-Wahab Al-Durrah, informed Al-Masirah, today, Sunday, that two destinations and specific flights from Sana’a International Airport had been approved at the beginning of the de-escalation period to build confidence, pointing out that: “The time has come to open Sana’a Airport without restrictions.”

Minister Al-Durra confirmed that the restrictions on Sanaa Airport are no longer acceptable, stressing the right of the Yemeni traveler to reach his destination without moving between airports and incurring additional costs.

The Minister of Transport indicated that within one hour, all seats on the three additional flights to Amman were reserved, pointing out that this is evidence of the extent of the need and the severity of the siege.

For his part, Deputy Minister of Public Health, Dr. Mutahar Al-Marouni, explained that a large part of the health sector’s suffering is related to the closure of Sana’a Airport, as it is a vital corridor for the disease and for the arrival of life-saving medicine.
