Aden (Saba)- Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid Bin-Daghar has praised efforts made by the International Committee of Red Cross to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis harmed by the war carried out by the Houthi-Saleh militias.

This came as Bin-Daghar received Head of IRCR in Yemen Alexandre Faite , discussing a range of humanitarian issues.

Faite presented a detailed explanation on prisoners conditions in all Yemeni prisons, signaling out that ICRC seeks to document and register the prisoners and enable them contacting their families.

He also cited that ICRC works to control cholera epidemics which broke out in a number of Yemeni governorates, particularly those which are still run by the Houthi-Saleh militias.
