Since 2014, Yemen has been under fire from clashes between Houthi rebels and government forces. This civil war has intensified since a coalition of Arab states led by Saudi Arabia has been supporting the government, bombing several regions, notably Sana’a and Aden governorates in the west of the country. Part of the Yemeni population have been profoundly affected and are in need of emergency care. The intensification of the war threatens the life and livelihoods of tens of thousands of civilians and deprives them of humanitarian assistance.
The intensification of the war threatens the life and livelihoods of tens of thousands of civilians.
The conflict and the rapid deterioration in living conditions – in particular the shortage of foodstuffs owing to the blockade set up by the coalition – has led to famine conditions in some parts of the country, particularly the south and west.
What we do
Doctors of the World comes to the assistance of Yemeni pour-eux by supporting five healthcare facilities in Jehanah (Sana’a Governorate) and Yareem (Ibb Governorate) districts. The association supplies medical equipment, support in emergency situations and medicines needed to treat the most common acute and chronic conditions.
Since the end of 2015, a Doctors of the World team has been based in Sana’a, working to rehabilitate medical facilities damaged by the bombardment and to reinstate primary healthcare. The objective is also to improve screening for and treatment of malnutrition in particularly vulnerable children, to care for the chronically sick and to offer psychological help to victims.
