SANA'A, March 10 (Saba) - An
initial counting report showed on Wednesday that about 5,026 houses have been
damaged due to
the Houthi rebellion in Sa'ada province and Harf Sufian district.
The report was discussed by the Higher Committee to tackle the rebellion affects in
Sa'ada province and Harf Sufian district chaired by the Prime Minister Ali Mujawar.
It showed that the 1,699 houses were devastated completely, 1,973 ones were
destroyed partly and the others need just for restoration.
The report prepared by Sa'ada Reconstruction Fund in cooperation with Sa'ada and
Amran provinces' leadership has not surveyed all the affected areas. It deals with
the damaged
public and private facilities in some areas and the others are in the way.
About 320 public facilities have been damaged by the rebellion in some districts of
Sa'ada province, including schools, hospitals, medical centers, police stations,
courts,
mosques and other facilities.
In Harf Sufian district of Amran province, the number of facilities that have been
damaged reached 404 ones, 377 of which are houses.
Prior to the last war that was erupted in august 2009, the report affirmed that the
fund has managed to implement 33 development public projects amounting to over YR
365.5
million, in addition to 13 other projects are still under construction.
The houses that have been reconstructed entirely in the same period reached 1,355
ones, besides 1,084 were under construction at a total cost of YR 979.4 million,
out of
the contract amounts, which were over YR 1.6 billion.
The committee has assigned minister of Planning and International Cooperation and
the Fund's Executive Director to contact with the World Bank to prepare a
comprehensive
study on the damages and the real requirements for a reconstruction plan in Sa'ada
and Harf Sufian.
Sa'ada province has suffered from sporadic six-year war between the government
troops and al-Houthi rebels since 2004. The last round of the war was erupted in
August 2009.
On February 12th, a ceasefire deal was announced by President Ali Abdullah Saleh
following the Houthi rebel leader acceptance of the government's sex terms.
Four committees have been established to oversee the implementation of the deal.
In spite some breaches committed by al-Houthi rebels, the deal's implementation is
groining well but slowly.
The ceasefire deal contains six terms, which are: - Houthi commitment to ceasefire,
eliminating landmines and leaving positions and hideouts.- Rebel withdrawal from
all
districts in Saada and stopping interference in the local government's duties.-
Returning looted Yemeni and Saudi military and public equipment and properties.-
Releasing
Yemeni and Saudi captives.- Obeying the law and constitution.- Pledging not to
attack Saudi lands.
