SANAA, June 10 (YPA) – Ministry of Public Health and Population of the National Salvation Government on Tuesday revealed the amount of diesel needed by the hospitals per month, and the severe consequences of decreasing or lacking the quantity, including the suspension of work in light of the Corona pandemic.

“The hospitals’ need amounts to 1.5 million liters of diesel per month, not to mention private health facilities and health units, ” director of the services department in the Ministry of Health said.
