An escalation in Yemen, which began on August 6, has resulted in a significant number of casualties. Between August 6 and September 18, the Ministry of Health and Population recorded 3,672 casualties, including 674 deaths and 2,998 injuries.

The ongoing conflict in Yemen is placing immense pressure on health services in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Funding for humanitarian operations remains well below requirements, potentially hindering response efforts.

The conflict has led to thousands of deaths and injuries, indicating a severe impact on the civilian population. The region also faces challenges with a large number of refugees and internally displaced persons.
