He stressed significance of international swift action and put more pressure on Houthi militia to stop playing with this humanitarian issue and using it as a mean for political blackmailing and to allow to the team access to the tanker to do maintenance work and evaluate its technical situation.

He argued the UN to take quick necessary measures to ensure avoidance of oil leakage and take it to safe place or making use of it for the interest of Yemeni people.
