Doctors Without Borders Delivers Medical Supplies to Besieged Taiz
The international organization Doctors Without Borders announced on Thursday the delivery of a shipment of medical supplies to the city of Taiz in southwestern Yemen.
In a statement published on its X platform account, the organization said, "Following the recent delivery of life-saving supplies to Al-Thawra Hospital, Doctors Without Borders has provided a second batch of medical supplies to support health facilities in Taiz for treating the wounded."
The statement added, "Amid the escalating fighting in Taiz, Doctors Without Borders continues to respond to medical needs, in line with its independent medical humanitarian mission."
The organization confirmed that its teams in Yemen have been working on both sides of the front lines since 1986, providing care based solely on need.
Doctors Without Borders called on all parties to respect and protect health facilities, medical staff, and patients, and to allow safe passage for the sick and wounded and unimpeded access for humanitarian supplies.
According to the statement, Doctors Without Borders also affirmed its commitment to the Yemeni people and will continue to respond wherever there is a medical need.
On Wednesday, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned of the continued deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Taiz city, due to the disruption of vital supply routes and increasing pressure on essential services.
The office explained that the roads leading to the city from areas under the control of the Yemeni government remain cut off or closed due to the fighting, preventing the delivery of life-saving aid and commercial goods.
