What happened
Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen have suspended the reporting of health information. Yemen’s Minister of Public Health and Population, Qasim Buhaibeh, stated that the health sector is struggling due to a lack of resources, which has forced the closure of facilities and caused shortages of medicines, supplies, and fuel.
