Sana’a International Airport Director, Khaled Al-Shaif, denied on Tuesday the statements of the Saudi-led coalition’s spokesman, Turki al-Maliki, on conducting any flights from Sana’a International Airport to transport cases in cooperation with the World Health Organization.

In a statement, Al-Shaif confirmed the continuation of the ban on Sana’a International Airport and the restriction of flights.

Sana’a International Airport was scheduled to open on Saturday for flights after being delayed more than once. This led to the Director of Sana’a International Airport, Khaled Al-Shaif, questioning the United Nations’ credibility and its ability to lift the blockade on Sana’a International Airport.

The United Nations is reneging on the agreement to start the Air Bridge on October 20th to transport patients, who suffer from a critical condition that requires treatment abroad.
