Health Ministry: Blockade harms health and lives
The report from the Yemeni Ministry of Health highlights the severe health and humanitarian consequences resulting from the blockade imposed on Sana'a International Airport by Saudi Arabia for over 11 years. The continuous disruption of medical supplies and humanitarian aid has led to the deaths of thousands of patients who require treatment abroad, an increase in malnutrition rates and epidemics, and the deprivation of basic healthcare for 20 million Yemenis. Additionally, the blockade has caused the migration of medical personnel, a rise in chronic disease cases, and financial losses exceeding seven billion dollars in the health sector. The United Nations and international organizations remain unable to provide solutions due to the international community's negligence, while the ministry calls for lifting the blockade and halting the deterioration of the humanitarian and health situation in Yemen.
