According to a statement issued by the Japanese Embassy to Yemen, a copy of which was received by the Yemen News Agency (SABA), the project aims to enhance living conditions for displaced people and host communities through the rehabilitation of health and medical facilities, the development of disaster management infrastructure, and the construction of shelters for displaced families in Marib Governorate.
