Sana'a Press Briefing on Saudi Blockade Impact
I must mention that the Saudi blockade, which has been ongoing for 12 years, has led to a deterioration of healthcare services in Yemen, particularly for patients with kidney failure. It has caused a significant shortage of medical supplies and all materials necessary for dialysis, threatening the lives of thousands who depend on regular sessions. Some dialysis centers have ceased operations due to destruction caused by relentless bombing, and the annual need is approximately 700,000 dialysis sessions. However, complex procedures and limited transportation via airports and humanitarian organizations have resulted in a severe shortage of equipment and medicines, with treatment costs exceeding seven thousand dollars per patient per year. This situation has led to an increase in death rates, a decline in the quality of care, and greater suffering for patients and their families. There is an urgent need for the international community to intervene and lift the blockade to ensure the availability of medical supplies and safeguard patients' lives.
