UN Envoy Says Blockade On Sanaa Airport, Hodeidah Seaport In Yemen Should Be Lifted
SANAA, Jun 1 (NNN-SABA) – UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Martin Griffiths, said, the blockade on Sanaa airport and Hodeidah seaport should be lifted.
“Obstacles should be lifted, to allow fuel and goods reaching the Yemenis,” Griffiths told reporters at Sanaa airport, after concluding a two-day visit to the Houthi rebel-held Yemeni capital.
“There is a need for a cease-fire, reopening roads for the movement of the Yemeni people and returning normal life to Yemen,” Griffiths said, adding that he will re-discuss this issue with the Yemeni government and Saudi officials.
