Omani leaves for Yemen with his aid consignment
MUSCAT: Given the current situation, most people would rule out a trip to Yemen. Nasr Al Jadhamy, though, isn’t like most other people.
The 44-year-old left for the Sultanate’s western neighbour on Wednesday, just a couple months after a harrowing journey to the town of Seiyoun in Yemen’s Hadhramawt Governorate, which saw him transport 56 tonnes of relief supplies, such as milk powder, diapers, blankets and rice, to those affected by the ongoing conflict.
This time around, he’s accumulated more than 60 tonnes of goods, and has organised two trucks to take all of it to Yemen.
“We will travel to Salalah, and then onwards to Thumrait,” said Al Jadhamy, while speaking to the Times of Oman.
“I will be flying to Salalah af- ter that and will then drive to the Yemen border, where I will secure clearance for these trucks.”
The last time Nasr travelled to Yemen, he was made to wait for six days before receiving permission to cross the Yemeni border. Fortunately, this time around, things are a bit simpler.
“Before leaving the last time, I received a letter from the governor of Hadhramawt, which allows me to freely travel in and out of Yemen,” he revealed.
“After I have secured the clearances, I will be travelling back to Muscat, and from their onward to Cairo and fly into Seiyoun. The trucks will meet me there.”
