Aden, Peaceful Again? Pictures of the Week 23 July 2015

After months of terrible fighting, in which the people of Aden have suffered from gunfire, bombing, starvation, thirst and disease, the battle seems to be over. Supplies are arriving by sea and air. To celebrate, here are a few postcard photos of Aden at peace, in around 1959. Most are by photographer Dick Ketchian.

The handsome Idrus Mosque. I hope it has survived.
Water cart in Crater
Waterfront buildings
The famous Tawila Tanks,
dating back to the 7th century
Crater town which has apparently
been badly damaged in recent fighting.
