A source in Hodeida Port confirmed on Monday that the Saudi-led Coalition detaining 14 Yemeni ships loaded with oil derivatives and food in Jizan port.

The source explained in a statement that the detained ships carry 240 thousand tons of gasoline and diesel, 8 thousand tons of gas and 35 thousand tons of sugar and flour.

The US-Saudi aggression insists on suffocating the Yemeni People through their arbitrary practices and maritime piracy, seizing oil and food ships, unconcerned about the repercussions that may be produced because of their criminal actions.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and eliminating the Yemeni Houthi Ansarullah movement, whose fighters have been significantly helping the Yemeni army in defending the country against invaders since the onset of war.

The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives since.
