(Yemen)–Meanwhile, a U-S based mission organization is relinquishing their responsibilities at a hospital they operated in Yemen. The Southern Baptist International Mission Board is negotiating with Yemeni nationals to take over the hospital, allowing them to focus on critical-needs in outlying areas.
