Sana'a Press Conference on Saudi Siege and Patient Suffering
The article highlights the humanitarian and health consequences resulting from Saudi Arabia's ongoing blockade of Yemen for the past 12 years, with particular emphasis on its impact on the availability of essential medicines for patients with chronic illnesses. Restrictions on transportation and the closure of Sana'a Airport have caused a severe shortage of vital drugs such as insulin, anesthetics, and biologic treatments, leading to the deterioration of health for millions of patients and increasing mortality rates due to delays or the unavailability of necessary treatments. The report also points to a decline in humanitarian support and the halt of medical supplies and essential medications, assigning responsibility for the worsening situation to both the government and international organizations. It condemns the occupation policies that have led to an unprecedented health catastrophe. The ministry stresses the urgent need to open airports to ensure continuous healthcare and provide minimum essential supplies to save patients' lives.
