Saudi conflict increases disabled in Yemen
The ongoing Saudi-American aggression against Yemen has worsened the situation for people with disabilities, increasing their number from around 3 million before 2015 to approximately 4.5 million currently. This rise is due to injuries inflicted by airstrikes and shelling using internationally prohibited weapons. The aggression has resulted in thousands of injuries that have become permanent disabilities, including limb amputations, loss of hearing and sight, as well as neurological and motor impairments, along with congenital deformities. The attacks and the deteriorating infrastructure have destroyed hundreds of rehabilitation centers, and the lack of funding has reduced support from relevant agencies, depriving about two million people of healthcare, social, and rehabilitative services.
