The fuel crisis in Yemen is easing.
An official spokesman for the Yemeni Oil Company said that the fuel crisis in Sanaa was easing after two years of siege.
The official spokesman for the Yemeni Oil Company, Issam al-Mutawakil, told a news conference that the fuel crisis in the country had eased after two years of siege.
“According to Yemeni Oil Company estimates, supply stability in the free zones has begun,” al-Mutawakil was quoted as saying by Al-Masira news website.
A spokesman for the Yemeni Oil Company added: “We are witnessing a stable supply situation after two years of suffering due to the escalation of piracy by the Saudi aggressor coalition for Yemeni fuel ships.”
“The price of each 20 liters of gasoline imported from the port of Al-Hudaidah (west of the country) is 12,600 Yemeni riyals (about $ 50),” al-Mutawakil said.
Recently, several oil tankers arrived in the port of Al-Hudaidah, which is controlled by Yemeni Ansarullah forces, based on a two-month ceasefire. The ceasefire was carried out between the warring parties in Yemen under the auspices of the United Nations and started ten days ago.
Provinces under the control of Yemen’s Ansar al-Islam forces consume most of the fuel imported into the country due to high population density.
