Aden, (IINA) - United Arab Emirates (UAE) Red Crescent delegation (ERC) recently toured Aden in order to assess the humanitarian situation and the scale of damage on Yemeni grounds, WAM reported.
The visit to the southern city in Yemen came as a response to directives from the UAE President Khalifa Al-Nahyan and Vice President Sheikh Mohammed Al-Maktoum, to scale up UAE's response to the humanitarian situation in Yemen.
Led by Dr. Mohammad Al-Falahi, ERC secretary general, the UAE aid team conducted a comprehensive survey in order to determine the educational, health, water and hygiene needs of the city.
The ERC seeks to maintain 153 schools which accommodate 138,000 students. The first phase will maintain and qualify 54 schools and equip them with furniture and supplies to prepare for the resumption of classes by next October.
As for the health sector, the ERC plans to maintain and qualify 14 health facilities - five main hospitals and nine clinics in Aden.
A $1.1 Million plan was also prepared for 40 wells to feed the main water station that serves 450,000 people - half of the city's population - while a study is being conducted for improving the sewerage network.
