SANAA/HODEIDAH, Yemen (Reuters) - On Yemen's western coast, Mohammed al-Hosami receives support from the people of his village in al Mahwit to pay for his mother's cancer treatment in a clinic in nearby Hodeidah city.

"There is no work or salary so we can't afford transportation costs, and the village helped me with the payments for treatment and to take her there," he said as a doctor tended to his mother, who had visible swelling in one arm.
