The healthcare facilities have shut down in 11 governorates as Yemen is struggling to keep the least basic services amid the months-long conflict and Arab military intervention, the public health ministry said on Monday.  

All health services have completely stopped in the governorates of Aden, Lahj, Saada, Taiz, Hajjah, Abyan, Baidha, Dhali, Shabwa, Marib and Jawf because of the lacks of physicians as well as medicines and other medical requirements, a statement by the ministry said, according to the Saba agency.   

The hospitals in the other 11 governorates are facing huge problems and can't receive patients since they are full of people who were injured either in the civil war or in Saudi-led airstrikes, it said, while pointing out that many people die some on way to hospital because of persistent problems.

Moreover, patients with chronic diseases are facing death, it added, while calling on the international community to intervene and provide necessary help to Yemenis.

Since the conflict began several months ago, many hospitals have shut down because of battles and the lacks of fuels and medicines as well as power outages.

According to organizations, around 9 million Yemenis are in need of emergency medical help.

Organizations have also warned of spread of diseases amid the fast deterioration of healthcare services.  In May, WHO warned of an imminent collapse of the healthcare system in Yemen.

Besides the civil war, a blockade on all sea, land and air routes which was part of the Saudi-led military has boosted the suffering leaving the country to face the worst shortages of supplies.  

The statement said that despite ceasefires including the one brought into effect on Friday, the country is still facing lacks of supplies as aid can't be delivered because of the conflict.
