Yemen's severe COVID-19 jab shortages are sparking fears for millions of children's health due to unavailability of vaccines at public hospitals and pediatric clinics. The shortage has left parents like Mirsal Adel struggling to get his children vaccinated.
Shortages of yellow fever vaccinations have left millions of children in Yemen without access to life-saving inoculations, sparking fears for their health and wellbeing amid a country already reeling from a decades-long conflict. The lack of vaccine availability has been reported at public hospitals and paediatric clinics across the country, including Mirsal Adel's hometown of Ibb, where his own children once received free vaccinations without issue. Yemen is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history, with widespread poverty, disease, and malnutrition affecting millions of people. The shortages are seen as a devastating blow to the already fragile health system in Yemen.
