Sanaa-Sana
Today, the cadres of the Ministry of Public Health and Population organized a vigil in front of the United Nations office, denouncing the continued aggression and siege and its effects on the health sector.
Al Masirah Net website quoted the spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Najeeb Al-Qubati, as saying in a speech during the vigil: that the continuous bombing during the years of aggression led to the total and partial destruction of 527 health facilities, and 50 percent of the facilities were out of work, stressing that one child dies every 5 minutes due to the effects of the effects. The embargo and about 8000 women die every year.
Al-Fayyadh pointed out that more than 2.6 million children suffer from malnutrition and have lost 120 types of medicines for chronic diseases as a result of the blockade.
The siege imposed by the Saudi-led coalition on the Yemeni people continues, by land and sea, which has caused the death of thousands of patients after being prevented from traveling for treatment abroad, amid a lack of medicines and tools to treat them as a result of the siege.
