The Hajj and Umrah Section at the Ministry of Awqaf and Guidance announced that Saudi authorities banned the entry of Yemeni pilgrims to perform Umrah from the people of the northern provinces for the current season.

Yemenis from northern Yemen have reportedly been returned from Wadia avenue, although they hold the necessary visa for Umrah.

The Saudi authorities prevent Yemenis from Hajj under the pretext that they are from areas under the control of the Supreme Political Council and the Government of National Salvation.
