At least 77 Yemenis killed by heavy rains and flooding in the war-torn country with 35,000 affected, the United Nations says
Heavy rainfall is expected to continue until August 20, according to the agrometeorological early warning issued on August 7 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.
At least 77 Yemenis have been killed by heavy rains and flooding in the war-torn country, the United Nations said. "35,000 families, most of them IDPs , were affected by heavy rains and flooding between 28 July and 10 August,” the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs saidExtreme weather "is expected to continue until 20 August," it added.
Yemen lacks proper infrastructure due to ongoing civil war over the past eight years, which decreased the vital services provided to Yemenis and increased their suffering in times of extreme weather.
