HMPCA Flash Update (May 11th, 2015): Local health staff in Aden are exhausted and all relief still remains in Sanaa.

Monday, May 11, 2015

All of the medical staff are tired and exhausted all the foreign members of the medical missions have left the country. The Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders are very limited and do not work constantly due to security conditions. The number of casualties is still rising, with each day worse than the other.

Furthermore, we have been making every effort to supply the health facilities throughout the southern regions of Yemen with medicine, supplies, medical equipments and fuel. This has been done by collaboration and organizing groups of youth who are continuously taking the risk to deliver what is needed to remote dangerous locations, some of which,  are currently under siege . And we are willing to continue to maintain this chain of support so as long as we have the fuel and the stoke to to do so, which has not been the case lately as the majority of relief still remains in Sana’a.
