Geneva, Ramadan 27, 1436 AH, July 14, 2015, SPA -- The World Health Organization "WHO" said on Tuesday it had delivered life-saving medical supplies to the southern city of Aden in Yemen, where most health facilities are "non-functional" due to fighting and critical shortages of supplies, Reuters reported. In a statement, the "WHO" said it had brought 46.4 tonnes of medicines, medical supplies and water and sanitation supplies for more than 84,000 people in six trucks as part of a United Nations convoy. "Access to health care in Aden is extremely limited due to constant fighting and most of the governorate's 31 health facilities are non-functional due to critical shortages in medical supplies and fuel needed for generators," it said. -- SPA 11:56 LOCAL TIME 08:56 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
