Long queues were seen in Yemen's port city of Hodeidah last Saturday, as people gathered to receive their first batch of humanitarian aid sent by the Chinese government.
The batch of emergency humanitarian aid, mostly consisting of food items, got to Aden last Thursday.
The Chinese humanitarian aid also reached some other regions of the war-torn country.
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 five million U.S. dollars for the UN World Food Programme and two million U.S. dollars for the World Health Organization, in an effort to contain the spread of the cholera epidemic sweeping across the country.
The Chinese government has pledged to continue its support for the Yemeni people and remain in coordination with the Yemeni government and the UN in delivering humanitarian assistance to the people there.
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 three million displaced.
It is now the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, and two thirds of the population, or nearly 19 million, are extremely in need of assistance and more than seven 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.
