Yemen: MSF Treats 39 Injured as Violence Affects the South of the Country

On February 21, Doctors Without Borders teams in Aden and Al Daleh, in southern Yemen, tended to 39 people who had been injured during outbreaks of violence connected to national elections. A local separatist movement boycotted the vote, which led to clashes in the south, particularly in Aden, the region’s main city.

MSF supported three hospitals in Aden by deploying medical and surgical teams and financially supporting health care for the wounded. The three hospitals admitted a total of 37 people on Tuesday.
