UN human rights officials are warning that the situation in Yemen’s third city of Taiz is growing increasingly dire, with two solid weeks of fighting between the Shi’ite Houthis and pro-Saudi government forces leaving nearly 100 civilians killed.
53 of the civilians were killed by Saudi airstrikes, while the rest were killed in back-and-forth fighting and Houthi shelling against targets in pro-Saudi held districts. The direct deaths may only end up a fraction of the overall toll, however, as they have pushed hospitals to the brink of collapse.
Only 7 of Taiz’s hospitals were even still open to see patients, out of 21 in the city. Those few were quickly overwhelmed, with most of their supplies in short supply because of the ongoing naval blockade. The UN reported that the health care system in Taiz is now on the brink of collapse, and there are already reports of a rising dengue fever outbreak.
The problem of shortages at hospitals is true throughout Yemen at this point, as the blockade has severely limited food and medical aid entering the country in the past several months. Such crises are inevitable with the shortages, and are being compounded by Saudi offensives into these major cities.
Will someone tell those UN ofgicials that warfsre has alwayd plsyed hell with humans health care.
That whole of UN and its’ two-faced se bast…s aid those who are revamping the world for the UN to be paid to clean up the carnage are because of their cowardliness and psychophant following of White Euro Centrics orders are part of the problem and have no solutions at hand.
IT matters not because they get paid no mattrr how many die, become displaced and end up as beggers at their camps.
The double standard of usg the British and some other government in Europe have made the Syrian, Iraqi, afghanis and other nations to become refugees in Europe. The war mongering personalities by neo liberals from Tony Blair to David Cameron to far right and neo fascism in Europe and U.S been the reason for the refugees fighting for their life in borders all over Europe. George w. Bush, Tony Blair, the Swedish far right regime, the Swedish king, the Saudis dictatorial and GCC regimes, the Turkish Erdogan regime are the ones that started the new social political turmoil in middle east, these regimes intention was and still based on destroying much of Syria, Iraq, Libya as they can, Libya as these regime plan was to be divide between GCC and Saudis supporters that are ISIS.
European Union and its managing directors are either supporter of IMF and EU central bank or they support the suffering and continued suffering of people in Middle East. By Germany accepting 3,500 Syrian asylum seeker out of over 100.000 refuges in Europe, by the order of David Cameron for England border with France being high fanced, by the order of Swedish municipalities and other regional governing body not accepting any refugees are the signs that these regimes have no regrets for what they have done to or doing to nations all over the world, now after five years of Syrians and over a decade of Iraqi people being suffered, after 15 years of afghans and other nations being suffered the systems in place simply speaks for the growth of Neo Fascism and neo liberals with no political provision or vision for the future but IMF and ECB fraudulent, deception and stealing people's wealth and expansion of these activities is their way hypocritical responsibility.
If UN and its agencies are serious about their words they need to start prosecuting these mentally sick modernized version of Hitler, as George W.Bush, Tony Blair and their gang of attorneys and others, they need to start the process boycotting Israel and now Saudi Arabia and Saudis illegitimate sons, the GCC and ISIS, otherwise UN is just a talk promising something out of nothing.
