The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday said that the five-year war in Yemen has left 70 thousand injured people in desperate need of care.
This came in a brief statement published by the organization on the page of its office in Yemen on Facebook.
With direct support from the European Commission for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection, WHO has been able to provide the department of trauma care, strengthen the referral system and operate mobile surgical teams, reaching around 30,000 people, WHO said.
It also said that the it has managed to treat 52,000 malnourished children in Yemen.
The WHO said in its report on Facebook Page that the WHO in cooperation with Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (LAC) expanded medical feeding centers that target nearly 52,000 children inflicted by acute malnutrition.
Minister of Public Health and Population Dr. Taha al-Mutawakil on Wednesday affirmed the Ministry’s intention to establish a national pharmacy to sell medicine at a cost price to ensure the maintenance of product quality and efficiency in performance.
During a celebration of the World Pharmacist Day, the Minister appreciated the efforts exerted to improve the pharmaceutical manufacturing in Yemen despite the aggression and siege.
The Health Minister referred that it was agreed with the World Health Organization (WHO) to form a joint team to access pharmaceutical production factories in Yemen and assess them to reach the level of good and safe manufacturing “G.M.P.”, provided that the Organization markets Yemeni pharmaceutical products.
In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.
Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
