Supreme Medical Committee of the Ministry of Public Health and Population confirmed that the sudden cessation of Yemeni Airlines flights towards the only destination led to disastrous repercussions on the condition of patients.
The committee explained in a statement that it had received complaints from dozens of patients who had arranged their placements in hospitals abroad to receive treatment and were left stranded.
The committee called for Sana’a International Airport to be neutralized from any bartering, as it is a vital airport and a humanitarian corridor for thousands of patients, renewing the demand to open the Egyptian and Indian destinations from Sanaa Airport as primary destinations for the Yemeni patient, urgently.
The statement explained that about 60,000 incurable patients in Yemen and tens of thousands of patients registered in medical centers are waiting for their turn to travel from Sanaa Airport, as all of them struggle to get a seat and cannot travel through distant airports such as Aden and Sayoun due to their health condition.
The committee also called on the free people of the world and humanitarian organizations to put pressure to lift the blockade imposed by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition on Yemen for nine years, as this is the real gateway to addressing the humanitarian crisis resulting from the blockade aggression and away from any trade-off that harms the critical humanitarian situation.
