Yemen, UNDP discuss alleviating displaced people suffering

SANA'A, Nov. 02 (Saba) -
Minister of Public Health and Population Abdul-Karim Rase'a discussed here on Monday
with
the resident representative of UNDP Pratibha Mehta the cooperation to receive and
provide shelter for the displaced people of Saada.

The meeting dealt with the future plan to cover the displaced people's requests,
which was prepared by the UN's bodies after the visit of the U.N.
Under-Secretary-General
for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator John Holmes to Yemen early
on October.
After his inspection visit to the Mizraq refugee camp, Holmes has called on the
international community and donors to provide more aid for the affected people of
Sa'ada,
pointing to a previous urgent appeal to provide $ 23 million in aid for over 150.000
people affected by Yemen conflict.
The U.N. Emergency Fund allocated this year more than $ 7 million for Yemen to cope
with its problems, according to Holmes.
Holmes visit to Yemen aimed to draw the world's attention to the humanitarian
situation in the country amid persistent confrontations between the army and
insurgents in
Saada and Amran that started in August.
