Pregnant women in Yemen at growing risk as healthcare limited by fighting

Pregnant women in Yemen are facing a growing risk to their health due to the ongoing fighting between the Houthis and the government forces. The limited access to reproductive healthcare is a major concern, as some facilities that provide emergency obstetric care are being repurposed to treat war-wounded. This shift in priorities is putting the lives of pregnant women and their unborn babies at risk, making it difficult for them to receive the medical care they need.

Why it matters

Fighting in Yemen limits access to healthcare, especially for pregnant women. This exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, putting more lives at risk.
