Yemen evaluates impacts of Saudi war on healthcare

Yamanyoon- Dec 28, 2017

A conference has been held in Yemen to assess impacts of the Saudi war on the country’s healthcare sector. Hospitals and other medical centers have been among prime targets of the Saudi war which was described as absurd by the top UN official in Yemen.

Yemeni people have been under massive attacks by a coalition led by the Saudi regime for nearly three years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against Yemeni people in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

Over 14,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
