The Minister of Transport, Abdulwahab Yahya Al-Durra, confirmed on Thursday that the implementation of the humanitarian armistice clauses in connection with transport falls short of the required and agreed level, as a result of the aggression coalition manipulating the armistice and its clauses for four months.

The Minister of Transport, in a statement to Saba, said: "Only 70 percent of the air transport sector implemented during the truce is due to the lack of regular and scheduled commercial and civil flights through Sana'a International Airport to Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt, according to the truce."

The number of flights carried out through Sana'a International Airport was 22 to Jordan's Queen Alia Airport and one to Cairo International Airport, while there were eight flights that were stalled, or were delayed due to the destination flounder of the Cairo flight.

During the first and second armistice periods, a total of 32 flights were scheduled to take place in Jordan and Egypt, according to the terms of the armistice, announced by the United Nations envoy at the beginning of April this year.

Minister Al-Durra added: "The only Cairo flight carried out has no observations or technical problems." Noting that the stalling of Cairo flights came with recommendations by the Aggression Coalition of the Government of Egypt to halt the conduct of flights, he said that most patients were heading to the Arab Republic of Egypt.

In the area of maritime transport, the Minister of Transport reported that only 60 percent had been implemented, with 36 vessels supposed to enter the port of Hodeida loaded with 18 oil derivatives in the first truce, as in the second truce according to the Armistice's terms.

The problem of the failure of the required number of oil derivatives vessels to enter the port of Hodeida in a smooth and orderly manner was attributed to the Coalition of Aggression's maritime piracy by subjecting the vessels to detention, despite obtaining United Nations permits.

With regard to road transport, Minister Al-Durra asserted that no major roads had been opened to facilitate the transit of citizens, travelers, buses, and cargo, thereby contributing to alleviating their suffering and securing their lives and property, in the face of acts of interruptions, killings and looting on bypass roads that were not eligible for commercial trains, passenger buses, and others.
