The state-run 26sep.net quoted a source at the Russian embassy in Sana'a as saying that the airplane will deliver 30 tons of food stuffs, tents and medicines in addition to an electricity generator.
Almost a month and a half, heavy rains lashed several parts of the republic, particularly the eastern provinces of Hadramout and Mahara where more than 90 people were killed and thousand houses were destroyed.
Heavy rains caused huge damages to agricultural lands, with losses estimated at billions.
Yemen received considerable support from many countries to reach out the affected and shelter people as well as rebuilding the destroyed areas.
