There is a need for an immediate reply from the international community, the UN Security Council, to prevent the recurrence of these acts, which jeopardize world safety, peace, and security. They also affect international routes when it comes to shipping. The hijacked vessel was transporting equipment from a field hospital in Socotra to the Saudi Arab port of Jizan. Al

Malki reported that the ship’s field hospital equipment cargo includes ambulances, communication devices, medical equipment, field laundry units, and other security support equipment.
