Rescue tank whistle
In this regard, the global environmental organization Greenpeace sent a letter to the Secretary General of the Arab League, Ahmed Abul Gheith, calling for coordination with member countries to hold an emergency meeting of state foreign ministers in order to fund the United Nations plan to save the safe reservoir and work together to eliminate the humanitarian and environmental threat posed by this tanker. The tanker protects the Yemeni people and the people of neighboring countries, as well as the fragile environment in the region, including a unique biodiversity of its kind in the Red Sea, 6 miles off the coast of Yemen, and an explosion or leak from the Safer oil tanker could lead to one of the most dangerous oil spills in history, according to a study by Greenpeace Research Laboratories.
“Today we are writing to Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abul Gheith and urging him to coordinate with member states to hold an emergency meeting and work together to fund a plan to remove the safe reservoir before it is too late and disaster strikes.” , Gavva El-Nakata, Executive Director of Greenpeace for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement.
She expressed regret that “the Safer crisis has not yet been resolved due to the lack of the necessary financial support, and to date only one Arab country has contributed to the donations, which amounted to half the amount needed.”
Using the tank as a “political blackmail” card.
She added: “The time has come for the Safer tank to give the necessary attention and make every possible effort to resolve this unresolved crisis before the disaster, which is primarily the Arab crisis. We are fully confident that the Arab League can play this role in expediting work on a solution.
If a disaster occurs, it will affect all of us, and its consequences will be very serious for millions of people in the region, their livelihoods, their food, their health and the environment.”
The United Nations has repeatedly delayed the visit of its expert team after the Houthis broke their promises to allow the team to service and empty the floating tank to avoid an environmental catastrophe outside the region, while the Yemeni government accused the militias of using the tank as a map of “political blackmail.”
