SANAA, March 24 (Reuters) - At least 12 people were killed and dozens of homes were destroyed in heavy rain storms in Yemen, a government official said on Saturday.

Two people were injured in a thunder storm and many farms were destroyed due to the stormy weather, which hit Yemen -- one of the poorest countries in the Arab world -- over the past two days, the official said.
