Chronic Patients Face Medication Shortage
Patients with chronic diseases in Yemen are suffering from a severe shortage of essential medicines due to the ongoing Saudi siege that has lasted for years. This has led to restrictions on the delivery of medical supplies and the closure of Sanaa Airport. This shortage endangers the lives of millions of patients, especially those with diabetes, kidney failure, and cancer, as their ability to obtain necessary medications such as insulin and drugs for bleeding disorders diminishes. Additionally, the siege impacts hospital services through a lack of vital medical supplies, resulting in postponed surgeries and urgent medical treatments. The restrictions on transportation methods and high costs further exacerbate the ongoing crisis of sensitive medication supplies. There is also a complete decline in humanitarian aid and an increasingly politicized humanitarian file, which worsens the suffering of the population and directly threatens the lives of patients.
