Shortages in fuel critically impact the functionality of health facilities in Yemen

      Health facilities are reported damaged. The lack of fuel is hindering public services and the private sector. Water processing plants which supply residences with drinking water in Sana’a City have closed, operations at financial institutions and public transport have been reduced. Some bakeries in the city have closed because of the lack of fuel and shortage of wheat flour. The lack of security in the affected areas has led to limited access basic supplies and services.  Humanitarian space and secure access to conduct needs assessments and provide medical support has shrunk since commencement of bombing. Shortages in fuel have a critical impact on the functionality of health facilities and the vaccine cold chain in vaccination activities. Insecurity has led to warehousing and logistic constraints. Additionally, the electricity supply remains intermittent and generators running the health facilities run for few hours only (when fuel is available).
