Local Editor
The international group Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières [MSF] said that it has treated more than 10,000 war-wounded in Yemen and that aid groups are being overwhelmed by the country’s massive humanitarian needs.
Thierry Goffeau, coordinator of the group in the port city of Aden in Yemen, said on Monday that crowded hospitals were forced at times to turn away patients.
He said that surgeons of the group treated dozens of shelling and sniper fire victims at Aden’s Sadaka Hospital every day.
Furthermore, he said that he has worked in many hotspots but that the situation in Yemen was "by far" the most difficult.
