Aden Port, July 23 (ANI): A United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) ship carrying food arrived in the Yemeni port of Aden. It was the first WFP-chartered ship to berth at the port since conflict erupted in Yemen in March. The ship had been anchored off Aden since June 26 but had to wait for a safe opportunity to berth, the World Food Programme said. The ship carried enough UN food aid to feed 180,000 people for a month. More WFP-chartered ships are on stand-by near Aden carrying fuel and more food. The UN body is working to channel food through Aden to people in need of humanitarian assistance, particularly in Yemen’s southern governorates, which are largely inaccessible because of fighting. About 13 million people – more than half the population – are thought to be in dire need of food in the country.
