No casualties in airstrikes on IOM buildings in Yemen

No casualties were reported as a result of airstrikes that hit the International Organization of Migration (IOM) buildings in Yemen, the IOM posted on its website Friday.

Mortar shells were fired and seriously damaged the IOM's Migrant Response Center (MRC) in Basateen district of on July 1.

Later that day, an IOM office in Haradh was damaged during air strikes. Although neither incident injured migrants or staff, IOM condemns these attacks and urges all parties to respect the integrity of civilian and humanitarian facilities in accordance with International Humanitarian Law, it added.

In Aden, the conflict continues, forcing IOM's MRP to keep its doors closed because of active fighting, the organization said, adding there has been no electricity in the Basateen neighborhood for the last eight weeks, making it increasingly difficult for IOM's foster family house to accommodate vulnerable migrants.

Additionally it also has not been safe enough for IOM to distribute food at the local Mosque in Basateen.
