Saudi ban on fuel tankers hampers Yemen's efforts to tackle COVID-19

A rally of Yemeni tribal leaders was held outside the UN's office to call for the immediate lifting of Saudi restrictions on fuel tankers off its Jizan sea port. Demonstrators chanted slogans that the UN should put an end to Yemenis' suffering caused by what they described as an unlawful move by Riyadh.
Earlier, ambulances of public and private hospitals sounded their sirens to make their voices heard that the health sector's fight against the spread of COVID-19 has been hampered by such Saudi restrictions.
Demonstrators have also condemned the UN's move to take Riyadh of the list of the world's child killers at a time when the kingdom's fighter jets continue to kill more Yemeni children.
Yemen says each day of delay of fuel tankers at Djibouti sea port costs Yemenis 20,000 US dollars. Nearly a month without any serious action by the UN has prompted many people to call for more retaliatory attacks deep inside Saudi territories until Riyadh is forced to totally lift its restrictions on the entry of fuel and other basic commodities into war-torn Yemen.
