‘Yemen stands on the “brink of the abyss” following 19 months of Saudi-led military intervention, the UN and the World Health Organization warned, revealing new figures of over 7,000 dead and almost 37,000 injured.
The WHO announced Monday that at least 7,070 people had been killed and over 36,818 injured as of October 25 since Saudi Arabia began battling Houthi insurgents in March 2015.
“People are dying … the infrastructure is falling apart … and the economy is on the brink of abyss,” UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, said in Sana’a.’
