Heavy rains and widespread floods have devastated northern Yemen, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 45 lives, according to local health authorities and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The disaster has also left dozens injured, as reported by Houthi-affiliated media outlets.
Scenes captured by a CGTN Stringer in the hardest-hit region, Al Hudaydah Governorate, reveal the extensive damage caused by the floods. Buildings and roads have been submerged, and infrastructure in the countryside has suffered severe damage, hampering relief efforts.
The affected communities are now facing the daunting task of rebuilding amidst the ongoing challenges posed by the natural disaster. Humanitarian organizations are mobilizing to provide necessary assistance to those impacted by the floods.
