SANAA (Debriefer)--A new fuel ship has arrived in Hodeidah province in western Yemen after it had been held at sea by a Saudi-led coalition fighting in the country for 174.
The ship, Nimah, entered Hodeidah seaport on Tuesday, carrying 27.972 tons of benzene, the Sanaa-based Yemen petroleum company said.
It was the fourth ship to enter the port in recent weeks. On Monday, the company said a ship carrying 27.487 tons of diesel arrived at the port after it had been held by the coalition for 86 days.
Two other ships carrying 85.502 tons of diesel arrived earlier.
The Houthi-run regions have been facing acute fuel shortages for four months. The Houthi group said last week the situation has reached an unbearable level, accusing the coalition of holding fuel ships bound for the port for no reason.
Last year, the UN brokered a deal between the government and the group to use the fuel revenues to pay public servants salaries.
