With direct support from the European Commission for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection, WHO has been able to provide the department of trauma care, strengthen the referral system and operate mobile surgical teams, reaching around 30,000 people, WHO said.

For the fifth consecutive year, Yemen is witnessing a war by the Arab coalition.
