Minister of Health to Executive Director of UNICEF: Childhood Health Care Needs more Support 

News - Yemen: The Minister of Health, Dr. Taha Al-Mutawakel, reviewed with the Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Catherine Russell, the needs of the health sector with regard to childhood care.

During the meeting, Al-Mutawakel pointed out the importance of the visit to see closely the scale of the humanitarian disaster in Yemen, especially what children and women are exposed to as a result of the continued aggression and siege. He emphasized that women and children were directly targeted by the US-Saudi aggression, which caused long-term psychological and physical suffering, indicating that the aggression killed more than eight thousand children and women over eight years.

He pointed out that the US-Saudi crimes continue through the increase in cases of fetal deformities resulting from raids and cluster bombs, explaining that Al-Sabeen Hospital witnesses many of these cases.

The Minister of Health reviewed the needs of the health sector with regard to childhood, which UNICEF relies on to provide to ensure the protection of newborns and children from deadly and life-threatening diseases through the provision of incubators and medicines, stressing the need for continued support for urgent needs and the expansion and operation of health centers and units.

He urged the evaluation of the work of UNICEF during the past period, and the promotion of joint work between the ministry and the organization.

The Minister of Health handed the UN official a number of files on the crimes of the US-Saudi aggression against children and women, calling on the organization to raise the voice loudly in international forums about the disaster lived by the Yemeni children.
