Houthi bid to target Yemen port threatens aid flow
Published in Albawaba on 30 - 07 - 2017

Riyadh - Houthi militias used a remote-controlled bombed boat to attack Al-Mokha port on the west coast of Yemen on Saturday, without causing casualties.
The boat collided with a naval pier near a group of ships, causing an explosion, according to a statement issued by Command of Saudi-led Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy.
The command stressed that Houthi and ousted Saleh militias continue to violate all international norms and resolutions by targeting Yemeni ports' security and threatening international navigation and regional and global security.
"Adding that these criminal practices impede the arrival of relief and humanitarian assistance and medications for cholera treatment for Yemeni territory," added the statement as reported by Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
In a statement issued, the ministry renewed its call on the international community to take an action to implement the UN resolutions especially Resolution 2216 to halt "savage crimes of the militias".
"These insane criminal attacks against service facilities such as the Mokha seaport want to create chaos, destruction, and death everywhere," said the ministry's statement.
The ministry stressed that insurgents aim to stop the ongoing works that improve the seaports' capacity in receiving humanitarian aid and delivering it to Taiz and large parts of Hodeidah.
The statement concluded that the insurgents are Indifferent to the lives of the citizens who are used as human shields or besieged and left to face death by starvation or diseases.
