First UN Aid Vessel Docks in Yemen's Aden After 4 Months of Saudi Aggression
2015-07-22
[ALMANAR.LB] An international ship carrying desperately needed relief supplies docked in Aden on Tuesday, the first UN vessel to reach the southern Yemeni city in four months of persistent Saudi-US brutal aggression.

"This is the first boat carrying the UN flag to dock in Aden since the war began" in late March, governor Nayef al-Bakri told news hounds at the Aden refinery port.

The ship is chartered by the World Food Program, which has tried repeatedly to deliver aid to the port city in recent weeks but failed due to security reasons.

"This will be the first WFP chartered ship to reach the port in Aden," WFP spokeswoman Reem Nada said shortly before the ship entered the harbor.

Vessels sent by the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran and the United Arab Emirates managed to reach Aden previously.
