7 Displaced Yemeni Children Died Due to Harsh Winter Cold
ADEN (Xinhua) – Seven internally displaced children died from harsh winter weather in their displacement tents in Yemen’s northeastern province of Marib, an official told Xinhua on Tuesday. Yemen’s executive unit for the management of internal displacement camps in Marib said that “during the past two months, the severe waves of winter cold killed seven children in Marib’s displacement camp.” He pointed out that hundreds of Yemeni children currently live in worn-out tents and suffer greatly due to the lack of winter clothing. “Many families living in Marib’s displacement tents called for humanitarian organizations to provide them with basic needs,” he said.
