The Yemeni government announced today, Tuesday, Aden, the temporary capital, a disaster city, as a result of human losses and great material damage left by Seoul.
Prime Minister Mouin Abdel Malek, in a Tweet on Twitter, said that the city of Aden was afflicted by the scale of the devastation and the massive losses caused by the depression.
Abdel-Malek called on brotherly and friendly countries and relief organizations to help the government in facing this disaster and contain its devastating effects on the lives and property of citizens.
He explained that the paralysis that has affected state institutions and agencies since last August's fighting, the control of the southern transitional council over the city, and the expulsion of the government weaken its capacity and exacerbate the deficit in the effectiveness of facing emergency conditions like these.
Aden is controlled by the Southern Transitional Council, which is backed by the Emirates, and demands the secession of southern Yemen from its north.
Torrential rains fell on Aden today and turned into torrential rain, killing four people, including three children, in addition to demolishing homes and damaging cars and other property of citizens.
Seoul has hit many areas in Yemen since mid-March, and is expected to continue in the coming weeks. According to international estimates, at the beginning of April, 4,600 families have been displaced.
Yemen suffers from a major weakness in infrastructure due to the sixth year of continuous war between government and Houthi forces in control of several governorates, including the capital, Sanaa, since 2014.
