SANAA, Yemen, May 30 (UPI) -- International aid agencies will send teams to Yemen in June to detail the country's humanitarian needs and pave the way for donations, officials said.
Humanitarian aid agencies -- OXFAM, UNICEF, Islamic Relief -- and many others non-governmental agencies warned after their preliminary assessments of the situation that Yemen was tittering on the "brink of a humanitarian catastrophe." They are urging the international community to swiftly release aid to the impoverished nation.
