Child Malnutrition Alarm: MSF reports severe acute malnutrition in Amran has nearly doubled in early 2026, with 599 children admitted to an MSF-supported hospital from January to April and admissions spiking in April; MSF links the rise to collapsing funding and threatened nutrition-site closures. Measles Threat: UN OCHA says Yemen saw over 6,000 suspected measles cases in the first quarter of 2026, including 25 deaths, with children hit hardest as vaccination and surveillance strain under humanitarian shortfalls. Local Violence: In Taiz’s Suwayda market, two brothers were killed and three bystanders seriously injured after gunfire erupted from a dispute. Regional Health Context: WHO and partners face major funding pressure globally, raising the risk that Yemen’s outbreaks worsen as support gaps grow.
