‘Tagesschau’ says that at the coast of the Red Sea Yemen harbors an oil tanker that is about four decades old and rusting and in some parts damaged. Yet still tons of petrol are stored in this tanker. The UN has been urging the Huthi and Saudi-Arabia – both of which need to give their go – to allow for the UN to let experts repair this tanker or at least have the potentially dangerous load removed from the ship. Everyone knows that due to the heavy damage of the ship petrol could leak into the ocean. Fishermen would lose their jobs due to most fish dying, water from thousands of wells would become undrinkable…Yet the Huthi and Saudi-Arabia both block each other’s okay. First of all it hasn’t even been cleared yet who – Saudi-Arabia or the Huthi – would get the money for all this oil if the UN removed it from the ship and neither of both parties wants to give up on all this precious petrol. Secondly this is a good chance to make a scapegoat out of the other one. For example the Huthi claim that they would have repaired the ship years ago, but the men they sent there were allegedly chased away by Saudi-Arabic soldiers.

‘GEA’ says that in Yemen two rivalizing militant groups now are officially at a ceasefire to avoid that their mercenaries could become infected with Corona.

‘Domradio’ says that in Hzdaia (Yemen) there currently is a ceasefire – arranged by the UN – between the conflicting groups. This city has a port that is responsible for the delivery of food and medicine supplies for more than 24 millions of people. Thanks to the ceasefire everything is calm now and there are no militant troops telling ships not to enter the port, so ships and boats can do their routine deliveries of food and medicine without which many Yemeni people probably would die.

In their latest report ‘Unicef’ says that there are about 40 countries where the number of malnourished children is especially high. Among these are Chad, Yemen, Madagascar and Zambia. In these four countries the situation is the gravest.
One out of five children all around the world is either underfed or due to one-sided nurture overweight. These children often don’t show a normal physical or mental development, are too small or due to an unusual growth of the muscles too weak.
For three years now these numbers have been increasing due to bad harvest due to changing climate. Right now we have 20 million refugees who fled either as a direct (bad harvest, no food in the stores…) or an indirect (farmers losing their food to theft) result of droughts.

AlDailami – an expert when it comes to questions about Yemen – now told the newspaper ‘GEA’ that an end in the conflict between Yemeni Huthi and Saudi-Arabia may not be in sight as both Huthi-leaders and Saudi-Arabia’s government don’t face any real casualties in this civil war. The Huthi meanwhile are so rich they recently even got to buy better weaponry.
As always the real victims are the civilians – especially the poor. Saudi air raids kill hundreds of Yemenis, Huthis block food deliveries and the delivery of medicine to Yemen – which kills people, makes them starve to death as well as malnourished and sick. Huthis bombing Arabic oil fields on the other hand also killed many Saudis who were just ordinary people doing their job.
