Yemen’s Civil War Returns and Overwhelms Hospitals with 'a Very Dangerous Situation'
Hospitals are turning away patients as fighting cuts supply routes and more than 130,000 people flee their homes, aid groups said.
- As Iran-backed Houthis advanced this month, over 130,000 people fled their homes, overwhelming hospitals across Taiz with around 635 casualties, including 112 bodies, as of Thursday.
- Key supply routes between Mokha and Taiz were largely cut off, forcing aid convoys onto mountainous roads unsuitable for large trucks and leaving hospitals critically undersupplied.
- Maternity wards have been converted into emergency rooms in some hospitals, with many lacking anesthesia, oxygen, and sterile surgical gloves as pregnancy-related emergencies mount.
- The International Committee of the Red Cross delivered 22 tons of medical supplies last week to support overwhelmed hospitals, yet staff continue performing painful triage as resources remain thin.
- Around 2,000 pregnant women are on the move with over 200 expected to deliver soon, while children like 7-year-old Tarek al-Salami arrive in "acute crisis" after delayed care.
