Yemen : Death toll from floods, heavy rains in Al-Hudaydah province rises to 84

The death toll from floods and heavy rains in western Yemen’s Al-Hudaydah province has risen to 84, with 25 others injured, the Houthi group said on Friday.
“The number of victims of floods and heavy rains that Al-Hudaydah province has witnessed since the beginning of August has risen to 84 deaths and 25 injuries,” the Houthi-affiliated Saba News Agency reported, citing a province emergency committee statement.
It added that the floods reached the northern entry point of Al-Hudaydah city, flooded hundreds of houses, caused severe damage to infrastructure and agricultural lands, and washed away a number of city roads.
Flash floods caused by seasonal rains have killed dozens and affected over 250,000 displaced people in Yemen since last July, according to UN figures.
A decade-long conflict between the Yemeni government and Houthis in Yemen has badly damaged the country’s infrastructure and health facilities and caused a catastrophic humanitarian situation there.
