for 40 days the Yemeni people are living in a catastrophic situation due to the lack of all humanitarian necessities:

– Hospitals suffer from an a cute shortage of medicine due to the blockade , while the number of causalities is mounting due to the intensive and continues air strikes.

– Most medical equipment in hospitals are out of order because of the electrical blackout.

-No water supplies to all of Yemen due to the lack of fuel . this is making people live a catastrophic situation.

– Crisis of oil derivatives :
this crisis has created a catastrophe because everything in Yemen is depending on fuel. Factories, farms, labs, bakeries, cars, and water pumps all stopped due to the lack of fuel.

Despite all the calls to the humanitarian organizations , the international reports to the world, and how Yemen is heading to a catastrophe ;the coalition aggression ,the total blockade ,and the hold back of the aid coming from the Red Cross and other countries did not stop.
