Geneva : The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has said that it is deeply concerned over the plight of more than 10,000 Yemeni citizens displaced by severe flooding following torrential rain in the provinces of Hadramout, Al Mahra and other areas.
UNHCR spokesperson Ron Redmond told reporters Tuesday that according to the Yemenese Ministry of Health Monday, some 180 lives have been lost and an estimated 2,000 homes destroyed, but these figures cannot be confirmed as several areas remain inaccessible.
He added that his organisation has dispatched teams to Mukalla to provide emergency assistance and carry out a rapid assessment for further assistance.
