Ministry of Health in Sana'a warns of the cessation of humanitarian support and its impact on children
The Ministry of Health in Sana'a has announced the cessation of humanitarian support directed at the health sector, which has led to a major humanitarian crisis affecting millions of people. These developments come in light of the ongoing economic challenges and difficult conditions facing Yemen.
The Ministry explained that the cessation of this support has deprived approximately 15,000 health sector workers of their salaries and financial entitlements. These workers are the primary pillar for providing medical services to citizens in various governorates, threatening the collapse of essential health services.
Reports issued by the Ministry also indicated that the lack of support has led to the suspension of immunization programs, threatening the lives of more than 5 million Yemeni children. These children are now without the necessary vaccines to protect them from preventable infectious diseases.
These figures underscore the scale of the challenges facing the health system in Yemen, where there is an increasing need for urgent international intervention to provide medicines and medical supplies. The relevant authorities are calling on international organizations to reconsider their decisions to suspend support to avoid a comprehensive health catastrophe.
In conclusion, the humanitarian situation in Yemen remains a regional priority, as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries are closely monitoring these developments, while diplomatic efforts continue to reach solutions that ensure stability and alleviate the suffering of civilians.
