About 173 ships and trucks carrying aid to Yemenis accessed various Yemeni governorates from May 20 until Wednesday evening, the Yemeni High Relief Committee (HRC) said Thursday.

The HRC statement said 101 ships and 72 trucks were loaded by food, medical stuff, oil derivatives and commercial kits.

Yemen is facing a civil war for few months now between forces loyal to Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi on one hand and Houthis and forces loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The escalation of the situation in Yemen has prompted forming an Arab coalition that intervened to fight against Houthis.
