The Arab Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen allowed on Saturday a fuel ship to enter the port city of Hodeidah. An official source said that the Coalition permitted the Bahia Danas ship, which was carrying 13,808 metric tons of fuel, to enter the port. The source stressed that the Coalition will continue to support humanitarian and relief efforts in Yemen, Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki had declared that the Iranian-backed Houthi militias were preventing the distribution of vaccines in the war-torn country. They were also looting medical and food aid. Such acts are a violation of all humanitarian laws, he stressed. The Coalition had on Wednesday announced that it will continue to keep Houthi-held Hodeidah open to receiving relief aid. It will remain open for 30 days, at the recommendation of United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed.
