Nearly 200,000 diabetics need insulin that needs adequate cooling in light of severe indications near the stopping of cooling devices.

It pointed out that about 600,000 premature babies need fuel and nurseries to survive, more than 300 Yemeni children die every day, and more than three million children suffer from malnutrition, of whom more than 400,000 are severely malnourished.
According to the statement, one million and 200 thousand women suffer from malnutrition, half of them are pregnant, and more than eight thousand women die every year due to the blockade. It also indicated that the closure of Sana’a International Airport caused the death of more than 80,000 patients who were in urgent need of treatment abroad, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health.
The organization’s head, Sumaia Al-Taifi, holds the US-Saudi aggression responsible for all crimes and violations against innocent civilians, especially women and children, over six years.
She called on the international community, the United Nations, the Security Council, human rights and humanitarian organizations to shoulder their legal and humanitarian responsibilities towards the massacres against the Yemeni People, work to stop them, lift the siege, and form an independent international committee to investigate all crimes and hold accountable all those who prove their involvement in them.
Al-Taifi further called on all free people in the world to take effective and positive action to stop the brutal aggression and protect civilians, women and children.
