Occupied southern Yemen plagued by epidemical diseases amidst inaction by leadership

About 25 citizens have died as a result of the spread of fevers and epidemics amid the collapse of services in all health facilities in Yemen’s southern city of Aden, according to medical sources.

The sources blamed the Ministry of Health in the Saudi-backed Hadi government for the worsening health situation in the city.

Meanwhile, a writer and human rights activist, Lula Ali, explained that Covid-19 is spreading at an alarming and frightening rate in Aden, without any serious precautionary measures taken by the government.

The activist said on Twitter that citizens are in a state of confusion, amid the absence of a mechanism for the competent authorities to combat the pandemic.

She pointed out that deaths tolls increased among citizens, while they did not receive any serious preventive measures from authorities.
