Minister of Public Health and Population Abdul Karim Rase’a said that the Ministry allocated YR 5 million to carry out an urgent plan to reconstruct a health sector in the Saada governorate during 2008-2009.
“The health ministry has presented to the cabinet a report, which includes a summary of the health situation in Saada and an urgent plan to reconstruct it,” Rase’a stated to the weekly newspaper, 26 September.
The report showed that about 20 of 101 health facilities in Saada, do not operate correctly due to the looted acts during the sedition, noting that a number of international organizations have provided, recently, urgent aid estimated to be $3 million to Saada. Part of the fund has been appropriated to provide the refugees camps with medicine.
He added that the World Food Program has also provided food aid of $5 million to the displaced persons.
