Yemen’s healthcare system is in a severe crisis, with around 17.8 million people lacking access to basic health services due to ongoing conflict. Approximately 40% of healthcare facilities are either partially functional or completely out of service, exacerbating the country’s already high rates of malnutrition, with over 35,000 malnourished children treated by Médecins Sans Frontières between 2022 and 2024. The recent 90% cut in USAID contracts has further reduced vital health and nutrition programs. While organizations like MedGlobal and the Pink Clinic continue to provide essential care, the overwhelming need for healthcare services surpasses available resources. Efforts like the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program aim to rebuild the system, but international support remains crucial to addressing the growing crisis.
Pray for increased aid support to meet the healthcare needs of the people in Yemen. Pray for the international authorities to take immediate action to improve the healthcare system and to rebuild the healthcare infrastructure in the country (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 19:17).
Pray for divine protection upon civilians and healthcare workers in Yemen. Pray for immediate and unhindered healthcare services for all the people in need, especially mothers and children, in the country (The Holy Bible, Psalm 121:1-2).
