The tragedy caused by the US-Saudi war on Yemen, for nearly four years, has led to the collapse of the health system of the country and the destruction of many hospitals and health centers in all parts of the country. The continuation of the aggression and its immoral war on all elements of life and infrastructure around the country is to make Yemen nothing but a quagmire of epidemics and diseases. The latest epidemic “Swine Flu (A / H1N1), is spreading, for the past few days, in the provinces of the north.

Health sources reported that more than 230 deaths have been reported in the past few days, and the epidemic will continue to kill more people if not faced. Mohamed Adelan, Director General of the Control of Disease and Epidemiological Surveillance in Yemen, pointed out that the number of deaths in 2018 has reached 1543 deaths from epidemics, and the highest is resulting for Cholera and Swine Flu (A / H1N1.) The reasons are many but the one reason the system continues to fail is caused by the systematic and complete destruction of the health system by the US-Saudi aggression.

He referred to remnants of the health system in the Republic of Yemen as not sufficient to handle the needed capacity. The aggression also destroyed the water and environmental system, leaving more than 6 million and 265,300 patients exposed to infections and in risk of many epidemics.

9 million people are in serious need of health care. The recent expansion of epidemics is due to a severe shortage of medical equipment and a severe shortage of vaccines due to the blockade imposed by the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen.
