Houthi-controlled areas face rising childhood illnesses
Yemen is experiencing an increase in the rates of infectious diseases such as measles and polio, due to the decline of vaccination programs and the deterioration of health services, especially in areas controlled by the Houthis. The northern province of Hadramout recorded the highest number of cases and deaths. Over five months, there were approximately 12,791 suspected cases of measles, with 71 fatalities. Misinformation against vaccines and the spread of diseases are leading to a decline in preventive coverage, causing the re-emergence of illnesses that were previously under control. Additionally, patients with chronic conditions like anemia are suffering from a shortage of necessary medical supplies for treatment.
