Yemeni conjoined twins likely to be treated in Jordan, Health Ministry says

Yemen’s Ministry of Health said on Wednesday that UNICEF has agreed to transfer the newborn Yemeni conjoined twins to the Kingdom of Jordan for treatment within the next few days.

The Ministry’s spokesperson, Dr. Najeeb Khalil Al-Qabati, stated that the approval by UNICEF to transfer the twins to a specialised hospital in Jordan came as a result of continuous contact between the ministry and UN organisations.

He stressed the commitment of the Health Ministry to provide healthcare according to the available capabilities of the country, in light of the continuing war, siege and closure of Sana’a International Airport by the Saudi-led coalition.

Al-Qabati called on international organisations to strengthen their humanitarian response to the catastrophe facing Yemen
