The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) on Wednesday expressed extreme concern regarding the impact of the fuel crisis on Yemeni civilians.
The NRC added that fuel shortages are also affecting humanitarian operations and preventing aid organizations from providing life-saving assistance.
The group called on the resigned regime of Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to remove all restrictions affecting the import of commercial fuel.
Fuel shortages has also led to the suspension of support for malnourished children suspended and reduction of food and water distributions.
The NRC also called for “the lifting of restrictions preventing food, fuel and other aid reaching all parts of the country to ease the humanitarian situation, including ensuring all ports remain open and functional.”
It warned that “any prolonged fuel shortages will lead to a catastrophe on top of a catastrophe.”
