Undersecretary of Sana'a province Fares al-Kuhali for the Services Sector and Vice Chairman of the Emergency Committee, along with province advisor Abdullah al-Marwani conducted an inspection of Hamal Dam in the New Sana'a district on Monday. The inspection team, which included Eng. Ali al-Qairi from the Agricultural Projects and Initiatives Financing Unit, Human Resources official Abdulkarim al-Salami, province Operations head Ibrahim al-Fasih, and Deputy Director of the Red Crescent Branch Ahmed Masoud, assessed the current water levels in the dam.
