KUWAIT, Dec 8 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Direct Aid society said Friday director of its Yemen office Ma'ali Al-Asousi returned home from Yemen, where she was unable to leave due to the recent escalation of armed conflict.
Direct Aid said in a statement it succeeded in securing a safe exit for Asousi from the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, following coordination with Kuwait Foreign Ministry and the UN.
Asousi was scheduled to return to Kuwait several days ago, it said, but the escalation of armed conflict in Sanaa prevented her departure.
Direct Aid expressed pride in sacrifices of Asousi who put her life in harms way to help those in need.
Asousi was supervising projects in Yemen like distribution of humanitarian aid, water supply and camps for the blind.
Asousi treated more than 60,000 Yemeni people over 10 years, and contributed to 5,000 eye surgeries in the war-torn country. (end) sss.bs
