ADEN nike air force 2 for sale , Yemen, July 13 (Xinhua) -- The first batch of emergency humanitarian aids provided by the Chinese government arrived in Yemen's southern port city of Aden on Thursday.
The Chinese humanitarian aid was received by Yemeni government officials at Aden's seaport.
The Chinese government has announced a grant of 150 million yuan (22.5 million U.S. dollars) as relief assistance to Yemen, in addition to 5 million yuan (750,000 U.S. dollars) for the UN World Food Programme and 2 million yuan (300,000 U.S. dollars) for the World Health Organization, in an effort to contain spread of the cholera epidemic sweeping across the war-torn country.
The arrival of Chinese humanitarian aid in Aden reflects the strong historical relations between the governments of China and Yemen.
The Chinese government has pledged to continue its support for the Yemeni people and remain in coordination with the Yemeni government and the United Nations in delivering humanitarian assistance to the needy in Yemen.
The conflict in Yemen has continued for more than two years and caused a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the country, which has left more than 10,000 people killed, including 1,500 children, over 35,000 injured, and about 3 million displaced.
It is now the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, where two thirds of the population, or nearly 19 million, need assistance and more than 7 million are suffering from hunger.
There have been 313,000 cholera cases and 1,706 deaths across Yemen's 22 provinces since the outbreak began in March.

CAIRO, July 15 (Xinhua) -- International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission chief for Egypt Chris Jarvis has voiced "strong support for Cairo's economic reform program," according to official news agency MENA on Saturday.
"Measures taken by the Egyptian government, such as increasing the prices of fuel and electricity and imposing the value-added tax, should have a positive impact on the budget," Jarvis said in statement to MENA.
"Such measures help achieve initial surplus in the budget of the Egyptian government for the first time in 10 years," he added, describing it as "an important achievement."
Increasing the prices of fuel and electricity was part of the Egyptian government plan to reduce energy subsidy to secure more funds for better education and social protection programs, the IMF's official said.
The IMF said Thursday that it had approved a second loan installment worth 1.25 billion dollars for Egypt.
Egypt agreed to a three-year, 12 billion dollars loan program in November that is tied to ambitious economic reforms such as subsidy cuts and tax hikes.
