Southern civil society organizations call United Nations for help regarding the health situation in Aden the capital
Southern civil society organizations launched an appeal call to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Antonio Guterres, on the health situation in the capital Aden.
They said in their call that the tragic situation of the city of Aden represented in the collapse of the infrastructure, in which there is no electricity, no enough water, no sewage, no mechanisms to remove waste, weak medical services and treatments or any other requirements for a normal life, all of these are as a result of the government’s failure to rebuild the structure of infrastructure over the past years.
They illustrated that the city of Aden lacks the necessary capabilities to face this disastrous situation, including the requirements of medical diagnostics and PCR analyzes, apart from air breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
They emphasized that there are precautionary efforts undertaken by the city’s self-administration, but those efforts require support and encouragement to continue. There are also efforts made by the World Health Organization as well as Doctors Without Borders, if it does not rise to the minimum level required to surround these epidemics.
They pointed out that citizens, including women and children, are dying, so they demand the speedy containment of the situation
