Foreign aid continues for rain-affected people in the eastern provinces
of Hadramout and Mahara with a Russian airplane carrying relief
materials set to arrive in the Sana'a airport next Saturday.
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.
