North Yemen. — The relief of the ICRC medical team in the country did not take place at the end of June because of unexpected difficulties. The ICRC, however, intends to install a fresh surgical team whose task will be to give treatment to casualties from the fighting. It should be pointed out that in addition to the risks caused by the hostilities to which the delegates are exposed, several ICRC representatives have, as a result of infectious diseases contracted, had recently to return to Switzerland where they are now receiving the necessary care.
