<p>The U.S. and Saudi
Arabia Friday confiscated 17 ships loaded with food and fuel heading for
Yemen, even though the vessels had the necessary permits to arrive in
that country.</p>
<p>Although 14 ships carrying oil and three vessels carrying food had
permits issued by the United Nations to enter Yemen, the coalition's
marine forces prevented them from doing so.</p>
<p>"We are facing a new
case of piracy by Saudi Arabia and its allies," Yemeni television
station Al Masirah reported from the Al-Hudayda port.</p>
<p>The oil tankers were
carrying 320,000 tons of fuel to this war-torn Middle Eastern country,
which reported its first COVID-19 case on Friday.</p>
<p>According to the Yemeni Oil Company, Saudi Arabia still holds 12 oil tankers in the Al-Hudayda port.</p>
<p>The continued
confiscation of oil in Yemeni waters will severely affect millions of
civilians, especially at a time when the coronavirus is just being
introduced into the country.</p>
<p>If COVID-19 spreads
in Yemen, its effects will be catastrophic. The country is experiencing
the world's worst humanitarian crisis in tghe last five years, due to a
endless war.</p>
