Over 6,000 Houthi Attacks on Yemen Healthcare

Reports indicate that violations against the health sector in areas controlled by the Houthis in Yemen are causing a decline in healthcare services and endangering healthcare workers. Since the beginning of 2020 through July 2026, more than 6,231 violations have been documented. These violations include killings, injuries, arrests, enforced disappearances, targeting health facilities through shelling and explosions, as well as looting medical supplies and selling medicines on the black market. This has resulted in the deaths of 62 healthcare workers and injuries to 87 others, with hundreds of doctors and health staff detained and imprisoned. Patients are prevented from receiving treatment, health sector employees are held hostage, hospitals are destroyed, and some have been converted into military sites. The crisis worsens as healthcare institutions face continued harassment and further destruction. Additionally, the Houthi group exerts pressure on international organizations to impose bribes and politicize the healthcare sector, significantly hampering efforts to provide healthcare to millions and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
