The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Friday that 15 million people have difficulty in terms of accessing safe water in Yemen.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a tweet that pumping drinking water into nine cities stopped during the past year due to lack of fuel to run the pumps

It added that the pumping stop caused a crisis and made about 90 percent of the residents of these cities wait to be transported by trucks and tankers.


The Saudi-led war, backed by the United States and the United Kingdom, has led to dire humanitarian conditions since March 2015. According to UN estimates, 21 million Yemenis (about 80 percent of the population) need human aides.
