Saba, ICRC in cooperation talks

SANA'A, Feb. 02 (Saba) - Chairman of the Yemen News Agency, Saba,
Nasr Taha Mustapha met Monday with the media official at the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Rabab al-Refae.

At the meeting, Mustapha reviewed the agency duties to provide
media in Yemen with electronic and written reports.

Hailing the role the ICRC plays in the country, Mustapha hoped the
ICRC achieves objectives serving human issues in Yemen.

For her part, al-Refae said the ICRC is keen to promote media
cooperation with the agency in an effort to directly and partially
raise awareness about the importance of human services the ICRC
provides in Yemen.

She highlighted support the ICRC is providing for the displaced
people in the war-ravaged northern province of Saada which started
in April 2007.

She said that the ICRC enjoys the characteristic that it can reach
conflict areas where many international organizations face
difficulties to do their job properly.

The ICRC official expressed her admiration for the activities of the
agency and praised its role in raising awareness about human
issues.
