MSF Warns of Yemen Child Crisis
Healthcare facilities in Yemen have recorded a significant increase in cases of malnutrition among children. Hospitals such as Al-Salam in Amran received 1,296 children during the first half of 2026, representing a 62% rise compared to the previous year. This came alongside a decline in health and nutrition services and a shortage of humanitarian funding, leading to health complications and a deterioration in the health status of mothers and children. There was also a rise in measles cases, totaling 11,354 instances between October 2025 and March 2026, making it the second-highest number globally. Houthi restrictions have delayed vaccination campaigns, exacerbating the health crisis in the country and threatening the capacity of the health system to respond effectively.
