Emirati aid shipment arrives in Yemen’s Aden

ADEN: A boat carrying 460 tonnes of Emirati relief aid docked on Sunday in Yemen’s restive port city of Aden, as Saudi-led air raids against rebels continued across the country.
The shipment, including medical and food supplies, is the second from the United Arab Emirates, which delivered last week 1,200 tonnes of relief aid, said local aid coordinator Ali al-Bikri.
Another ship carrying 400 tonnes of diesel also arrived on Friday, said Bikri, who was appointed by Yemen’s government-in-exile.
The southern city, where President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi took refuge until he fled to Saudi Arabia, received nothing beyond those shipments by the Emirati Red Crescent, he said.
Aden has been scene to fierce fights between rebels backed by troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and southern fighters allied with exiled Hadi.
Clashes continued on Sunday in Aden, witnesses said, after they had raged on Saturday in the north, east and west of the city.
Two pro-Hadi fighters and six Huthi militants were killed in the gun battles, according to a military source.
