Fire destroys huts [Archives:2005/825/Local News]
March 17 2005
Several huts were destroyed after a huge fire broke out in al-Shuhada'a Zone, Hodeidah.
It destroyed at least five thatched huts while other five were badly damaged.
Eyewitnesses told the media that people living in the huts have been periodically harassed by sides that want them to evacuate the zone.
They also said that the fire vehicles did not arrive at the scene on time and the fire had been already extinguished by some cars owned by citizens.
It is worth mentioning that fires have increased over the past few days in a number of Yemeni governorates, mostly in places inhabited by low-income and marginalized people.
