11 Years of American-Saudi Blockade Impact
This article discusses the repercussions of the blockade imposed on Yemen for more than 11 years, particularly on the health and humanitarian sectors. The closure of Sana'a International Airport has deprived thousands of patients of the ability to travel for treatment, leading to the worsening of chronic illnesses and malnutrition among children, along with a decline in the arrival of medical and humanitarian aid. The Yemeni Ministry of Health confirmed that the blockade causes the slow death of cancer, kidney failure, and diabetic patients, in addition to a severe shortage of resources and medical personnel. More than 20 million Yemenis are deprived of healthcare, with losses estimated at over seven million dollars in the health sector. The ministry calls on the international community to lift the blockade and provide the necessary aid to prevent an even greater humanitarian disaster.
