Yemen conflict strains hospitals and aid
Hospitals in Yemen are under intense pressure due to the increasing number of wounded as fighting continues between Yemeni forces and their allies on one side, and the Houthi movement on the other. Meanwhile, essential humanitarian aid remains cut off for approximately 800,000 people. Reports from the United Nations and aid organizations highlight that the ongoing war, which resumed last month, has led to the depletion of the food stockpile in Taiz. As a result, the city’s main hospital is experiencing a severe shortage of dialysis supplies, with only enough stock to last for just 14 days due to the inability to deliver aid amid intensified fighting. Hospitals on the front lines are also receiving unprecedented numbers of injured patients. Health experts warn that if the disruption to medical and food aid continues, the situation could escalate into a humanitarian catastrophe.
