Yemeni Prime Minister called on the United Nations to take strong positions against any Houthi blackmail to derail relief work, with the aim of financing the coup war.

Maeen Abdulmalik held extensive talks in the capital, Aden, with the heads and representatives of United Nations offices, agencies and organizations operating in Yemen, and the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen, David Gresley, according to the official Saba agency.

Abdulmalik criticized what he called the "international silence" on the obstacles, obstacles and arbitrary measures that the terrorist Houthi militia put in front of humanitarian action and the efforts of international organizations in their areas of control, noting that this "enabled the terrorist group to use the humanitarian file as a card for political blackmail."

He pointed out that the Houthi terrorist militia's failure to implement the terms of the humanitarian truce, which represented a window of hope for the Yemenis, and its refusal to extend it, and move to a dangerous level of escalation by targeting the country's economic capabilities and international shipping lanes, leads to the return of violence at a greater level and the doubling of human suffering.

"His government, based on its responsibilities towards the Yemeni people, will deal firmly and deter the crimes of the terrorist Houthi militia," he said.

Moein Abdulmalik reassured the United Nations organizations regarding the classification of Houthi as a terrorist group, which will not affect Yemenis, the national private sector, or humanitarian and relief work, pointing out that his government is keen that the penalties be "specific and directed against individuals and entities that have committed violations and committed crimes against Yemenis and their capabilities."

The Yemeni Prime Minister warned of the seriousness of the existing humanitarian situation in his country, and the need for concerted efforts to address the challenges, and for Yemen to be present and a priority on the agenda of the international community.

In the context, the Yemeni Prime Minister discussed the developments of the Safer oil reservoir file and what the United Nations has implemented so far to avert the serious environmental disaster that threatens Yemen and the entire region, in addition to the tangible development in strengthening aspects of the partnership between the government and the United Nations to implement urgent priorities and future steps.

He stressed the need to start immediately emptying the Safer oil reservoir and complete the process as soon as possible, especially in light of the completion of the financing gap and the contribution of many friends to that, as well as government support to cover the financing gap.

He stressed the need for "the international community to put an end to the Houthi militia's manipulation of this file and not to use it as a political blackmail card, and to move quickly to implement the plan to avoid the imminent disaster in the event of an oil leak from the reservoir."

He also reaffirmed the need for concerted international and international efforts to support the government's plans to put an end to Houthi terrorist attacks and threats against the vital capabilities of the Yemeni people and the interests of the region and the world.

For his part, Gresley explained that preparations are currently underway with the executing companies and the alternative ship to start implementation and unload the tank at the beginning of next year, and to complete the first phase.
