Member of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi has announced on Sunday the signing of a new agreement between National Salvation government and the United Nations to prevent a catastrophic environmental disaster, which could happen at any moment, due to the floating oil storage unit Safer that is moored in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen.
“A memorandum of understanding has been signed with the United Nations on the Safer ship. God willing, the work will be according to the agreement in the future and will see the light of day,” Mohammed al-Houthi wrote on his twitter account.

“This is meant to avoid any disaster caused by the arbitrariness of the US-British-Saudi aggression, their mercenaries and their siege of the Republic of Yemen,” he added.
The agreement is the second of its kind signed by Sana’a with the United Nations, as UN officials continue to procrastinate and ignore the deteriorating situation of Safer. The ship is loaded with about 1.1 million barrels of crude oil, estimated to cost about $40 million, and is in dire need of repairs.
