Reuters: U.N. ship brings food aid to Yemen's Aden as fighting rages
A ship carrying food aid for Aden's beleaguered population docked in the southern Yemeni port on Tuesday, the first in months of warfare that have devastated the city, as rival factions fought in the northern suburbs.
The ship carried enough U.N. food aid to feed 180,000 people for a month, a small measure of relief for a city that has been severely damaged by the conflict between Houthi militiamen and forces loyal to deposed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
It had been anchored off Aden since June 26 but had to wait for a safe opportunity to berth, the World Food Programme said.
