Crisis Update: August 6, 2015
The conflict in Yemen currently has the country divided between the
Houthi movement, supported by former president Saleh, which controls the
north of the country (including the capital Sana’a) and continues its
southward advance, and an anti-Houthi coalition based mainly in the
South. President Hadi of the transitional government fled to Saudi
Arabia in March.
In Yemen, MSF works in Aden, Al-Dhale’, Taiz, Sa’ada, Amran, Hajja,
Ibb, and Sana’a. To date, MSF has brought 105 tons of humanitarian aid
supplies to the facilities it runs and supports in Yemen, and has
received more than 10,500 war-wounded patients since March 19, 2015.
