MARIB - SABA
The governor of Yemen's afflicted city of Marib has called for an intensified UN humanitarian and developmental assistance in his province which offers a safe haven to millions of escapees from the terrorist Houthi militia.
In a reception of a visiting delegation from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs including the Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen Diego Zorrilla, al-Eradah expressed his hope in an advanced partnership with the UN and its different agencies "in what copes with the magnitude tragedy caused by the Houthi militia" that has been waging an interminable war on Marib as well as other Yemeni provinces.
Al-Eradah told the delegation that Marib had "received more than 2,231,000 escapees" from Houthi crackdown in the country's northwest.
"The IDPs live in 139 camps now," sassistance the governor. "They constitute 60% of the total number of IDPs in Yemen as a whole, which complicated the pressure that the leadership of Marib faces to meet their needs in the fields of shelters, water, health, education and the rest of life needs.
Al-Eradah called on the UN to intensify its interventions to implement more humanitarian projects and sustainable development projects and to establish necessary service facilities given the continued influx of new refugees who keep coming to Marib on a daily basis until now.
