Qahim, UN mission & national team briefed situation in Al-Hodeida

Governor of Hodeida, Muhammad Ayash Qahim, a member of the National Redeployment Team, Major General Muhammad al-Qadri, and the head of the United Nations Mission in Support of Hodeida Agreement, General (UNMHA) Michael Beary, were briefed on the situation in a number of southern districts in the province.

Qahim, Al-Qadri and Beary visited the directorates of Al-Durayhimi, Bayt al-Faqih, Zabid, Al-Tuhaitaand Al-Jarrahi, and were briefed on the destroyed province facilities that were severely damaged as a result of the bombing and targeting of the Saudi-Emirati aggression warplanes, and the effects of these damages on the lives of citizens.

During the visits, they also inspected a number of casualties from the aggression’s air strikes and remnants in the western coastal districts and the southern districts of Al Hodeida.

Major General Al-Qadri referred to the effects of the remnants by the aggression mercenaries in the areas of these districts, which resulted in casualties and environmental and health risks to civilian objects, which still threaten the lives of citizens in light of the United Nations’ reluctance to enter the necessary equipment to clear them.

During the visits, they also inspected a number of casualties from the aggression’s air strikes, remnants in the western coastal districts and the southern districts of Al Hodeida.

During these visits, Qahim stressed the need for the United Nations to play a positive and effective role during this stage to implement its humanitarian responsibilities towards the dangers and threats to civilian objects in the western coast and southern districts.

He called on UNMHA to work on implementing the outputs of the Sweden Agreement, which is the protection of civilians, and to put pressure on the aggression coalition to allow the entry of demining equipment to reduce the human losses suffered by these areas as a result of their contamination with tens of thousands of aggressions’ remnants.

Qahim also called for lifting the siege on Hodeida port, lifting the restrictions imposed on the Red Sea ports, and implementing the pledges that were agreed upon in accordance with the terms of the Sweden agreement to rehabilitate these ports damaged by the targeting of the aggression.

While Beary affirmed that the mission will continue to make more efforts and coordinate with the relevant international bodies to fulfill their commitments regarding the situation in Hodeida province.
