In its capacity as a neutral intermediary, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) facilitated on 29.01 the transfer of a Saudi detainee from Sana’a to Riyadh. The next day on 30.01, ICRC’s Red plane brought back home 7 Yemeni detainees from Riyadh to Sana’a. Also in January, the ICRC continued to respond to the massive needs across the county carrying out a wide range of activities across Yemen: relief work but also support to healthcare facilities and water corporations. Moreover, the ICRC finalized preparations for the foreseen mutual release of conflict-related detainees in Yemen.
