Sana'a-Saba:
The head of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeida Agreement (UNMHA), General Michael Beary, visited the port of Hodeida today.

During the visit, a member of the national redeployment team, Major General Mohammed al-Qadri, put the UN official in the picture of the work that is proceeding very smoothly in the port despite the severe damage caused by the raids of the Zionist aggression on the bridge cranes and some facilities in the past period.

Major General Al-Qadri stressed the importance of the United Nations providing assistance and assistance to rehabilitate the damaged facilities, as the port is the only port and the main lifeline for the entry of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid to nearly 80 percent of the Yemeni people in general.

In turn, the head of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeida Agreement praised the smoothness, sustainability, and continuation of the port in providing humanitarian services to all Yemenis.

He pointed out that the United Nations has played a positive and pioneering role in the three ports of Hodeida, represented by field disembarkations carried out by the mission's verification teams on a regular and routine basis for nearly five years.

General Beary confirmed that the ports of Hodeida are devoid of any military manifestations, contrary to the claims of some media outlets.

The Yemeni Red Sea Ports Corporation had previously denied the allegations made by the mouthpieces of aggression about the presence of weapons in the ports of Hodeida and their use as a basis for launching any military actions.

The Yemeni Red Sea Ports Corporation expressed its deep regret for the repeated scenario used by the aggression coalition and its tools through its media mouthpieces to involve the ports of Hodeida and use them as a pretext and make them a legitimate target in its hostile policy against the Yemeni people.

The corporation confirmed that both the ports of Hodeida and Salif are subject to continuous UN visits amounting to more than 200 visits of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeida Agreement to the two ports, which adhere to all international maritime requirements and codes and procedures in force in international ports and have nothing to do with any conflicts and are free of any armed manifestations, military barracks or stores for assembling weapons and launching gunboats.
