Saudi Arabia Oil Aid To Help Yemen End Severe Crisis

Quoting industry sources, the news agency claimed that the amount Yemen will receive from Saudi Arabia in January will be around 500,000 tons.

?There is a government-to-government agreement between Yemen and Saudi Arabia where Aramco is buying the gasoline and gas-oil and paying for it,? said Reuters quoting one of the sources familiar with the deal.

Saudi government officials and Saudi Aramco spokespeople were unreachable on Thursday to confirm the deal.

Yemen relied on 3 million barrels of Saudi-donated crude oil to run its refinery in June, when its main pipeline was shut after anti-government blasts, unleashing a fuel shortage that saw people getting killed at dry petrol stations.

The pipeline, which was repaired during summer, is shut once again, after consecutive blasts on it in October. The lack of crude flow in the pipeline has also forced the Aden refinery, which mainly produces to meet the domestic fuel demand, to halt operations.
