ADEN, Yemen, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations said on Thursday that severe flooding in Yemen has affected over 180,000 people since early August, prompting it to call for a 4.9-million-U.S. dollar aid to enhance emergency response efforts.
In a joint statement, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the World Food Program (WFP) highlighted the dire situation in Yemen, where catastrophic rainfall and flooding have exacerbated the suffering of families already grappling with poverty, hunger, and ongoing conflict.
