Disabled Care Fund reports on damages from assaults
The report by the Disables Care and Rehabilitation Fund documents the human, social, and economic damages inflicted on persons with disabilities and the relevant institutions over 11 years of aggression and blockade on Yemen (2015–2026). Among the most significant highlights is the increase in the number of people with disabilities from about 3 million before 2015 to approximately 4.5 million currently, due to injuries resulting from airstrikes, shelling, and internationally banned weapons. Thousands of injuries have turned into permanent disabilities, including amputations, deafness, blindness, neurological and motor impairments. Crimes such as the bombardment of Atan and the Grand Square have caused mass disabilities, and the rising rates of disability continue due to remnants of banned bombs, which have affected around 80,000 civilians, most of them children. The aggression has also led to the destruction of many care and rehabilitation centers, deterioration of healthcare services, shortages of medications, and quarantine supplies. Additionally, thousands of students have stopped attending school, and some individuals have been deprived of their social entitlements. Support for institutions has decreased from 135 to 65 entities.
