WHO provides Medicines and medical supplies to people in Yemen


The World Health Organization (WHO) has delivered more than 100 tonnes of medicines and medical supplies to more than a million people in Taiz, Yemen.

More than three million people are said to be in dire need of humanitarian assistance in Taiz, including nearly 400,000 internally displaced people.

The health supplies consist of urgently needed oxygen cylinders, surgical supplies and equipment.

WHO representatives in Taiz said the health situation there has "increasingly deteriorated" and that many health facilities had shut down due to shortages in staff, medicines and fuel.
