Minister of Local Administration—Chairman of Supreme Relief Committee—Abdulraqeeb Fatah blamed Houthi militia's for using Hodeida seaport to further worsening the peoples' torment and the illegal use of the harbor.

In statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) Fatah denounced the Houthi militia's decision to prevent unloading 11979 tons of diesel and 84326 tons of petrol in the seaport, even though the shipment has gained permission from the Command of the Coalition to support the legitimacy in accordance with the WFP. He stated that such action asis in violation of all laws.

The Minister called on the UN Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen Liza Grandi to mount pressure on the militia to let fuels shipment go and stop meddling in the relief and humanitarian action. He said :" Since the putschist militia has carried out its coup against the legitimate government and controlled the harbor, it devoted its efforts to obstruct humanitarian actions and target commercial relief ships, using marine mines to threaten marine navigation".
