SANAA (Reuters) - The death toll in western Yemen from heavy rains earlier this week has risen to 40, with five others missing, Houthi officials and aid workers said on Wednesday.
More than 500 homes had to be evacuated and many roads were blocked by flooding in Hodeidah province, much of which, including the port, is under the Iran-aligned Houthi movement's control.
The United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Wednesday that aid partners had begun deliveries "amid the need for urgent support," to thousands of families affected by the rains.
