Service reforms and the reconstruction of Mahrah in the aftermath of the Luban cyclone topped the list of priorities of Yemen’s Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik a day after his arrival with several Yemeni government officials in the temporary capital Aden.
Abdulmalik launched discussions with Ahmed Salim Rubia, the chargé d'affaires of Aden's governor, on services and economic conditions.
Saba News Agency said the prime minister and Rubia discussed power supply and the restoration of roads and government institutions.
Abdulmalik underpinned the necessity of activating the services and supervision mechanisms, as well as providing oil derivatives. He also noted that the supply of electricity will improve with the arrival of the first cargo of Saudi oil aid to power stations.
Abdul Raqib Fatah, Yemeni Minister of Local Administration and Chairman of the Higher Committee for Relief, chaired Wednesday in Aden a meeting for the ministerial committee, which has been formed by the prime minister to tackle the aftermath of Luban cyclone.
The meeting discussed the report on the primary assessment of the situation in the governorate. It addressed donors and international parties that would contribute to tackling the cyclone's consequences.
Fatah said that the government will exert tireless efforts to address the situation, alleviate the citizens' suffering, mobilize support from donors, prepare work-plan with engaging specialized technical parties and follow up with the process of providing aid.
At a time when the Yemeni government struggles to resolve the economic collapse and the currency deterioration, observers expect the new prime minister to take additional measures to confront the situation.
