The Houthi militia’s systematic negligence of health sector has caused in wide outbreaks of new epidemics in the areas of its control. The Houthi militia is notorious for looting medical relief assistance from international organizations.

Most recently, local medical reports spotted an outbreak of swine flu, also known as H1N1 flu, in the capital, Sana’a, and other Yemeni regions run by the Iran-backed militia.

The onset of the epidemic is set to kill hundreds of Yemeni citizens amid continued disregard of Houthi leaders.

Local sources said to September Net that the epidemic is widely spread in the capital’s neighborhoods and districts.

H1N1 flu, according to locals, has killed dozens so far.

Sana’a residents are currently living in a state of great fear and anxiety whereby locals stress that the high number of victims warns against a severe pandemic wave that requires urgent intervention from international organizations.

Locals are calling on international organizations to intervene away from the widespread corruption in the health sector subject to the Houthi rebels.

Medical sources revealed that more than 1,038 suspected H1N1 cases were recorded in Sana’a and other coup-controlled since the beginning of 2019.

The same sources indicated that 346 people died as a result of getting infected by swine flu.
