AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoMaternal Health: More than 13,000 pregnant women in Taiz lack essential care as fighting blocks supplies. Only five of 27 emergency maternity and newborn facilities are partly functioning; births at the city’s main maternity hospital have halved, and fuel shortages have cut incubators from 40 to 10. Taiz’s Strained Hospitals: Closed roads are worsening shortages of fuel, oxygen, medicines and blood, while trauma patients crowd hospitals. The UN also reports more than 22,500 suspected measles cases and nearly 130 deaths, mostly among children under five. Women and Children at Risk: Nearly 300,000 people have been displaced since August, more than half women and children. UNFPA warns that displacement and insecurity are exposing girls to exploitation and forced marriage; one 14-year-old was recently married amid fears her father would be killed. Attacks on Care: A missile strike on a health centre in Lahj killed civilians and injured medical staff, adding to damage to health facilities and ambulances since the fighting escalated.
