WHO warns of Yemen healthcare crisis
The World Health Organization has warned that the escalation in the recent Yemen conflict has wiped out what remains of the fragile healthcare system, pushing its capacity to the brink of collapse. It indicated that more than 4,481 people have died since the beginning of August, including 830 fatalities, while 60% of healthcare facilities were operating at full capacity before the escalation. The organization emphasized that damage to infrastructure, shortages of medicines, and the displacement of health workers are hampering medical service delivery, with the risk of outbreaks of epidemics such as cholera, measles, and dengue fever increasing due to the worsening health situation and lack of funding. The WHO called for urgent international funding to respond to the crisis, noting that only a small portion of the required funds have been received so far.
