A government official confirmed that the UAE-backed Transitional Council’s control of Aden caused the closure of the city’s health office and was the cause of the health sector collapse.
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, a spokeswoman for the National Committee to confront Corona in Yemen, Dr. Ishraq Al-Subaei, said that the lack of responsibility of the existing authorities hindered the office in carrying out its duty, which caused its closure and the complete collapse of the health status.
The Emirati-backed transitional council has been in control in the temporary capital, Aden, since last August, and the city is witnessing a deterioration in the health and service situation and widespread epidemics that have claimed hundreds of lives.
Since the beginning of May this year, the city of Aden has been plagued by a wave of viral epidemics and deadly fevers, including the Corona virus, which broke out following the torrential rains in the city on April 21, leaving thousands of infected people.
