Yemen: reaching out to victims of fighting in Abyan and Shabwa

19-05-2014 Photo gallery

Fighting has displaced scores of families in Yemen's Shabwa and Abyan governorates in recent weeks. The ICRC and the Yemen Red Crescent have delivered enough food and essential items to those in most need to sustain them for the coming month. We have also provided hospitals in Shabwa with medical assistance to help them cope with possible emergencies.
