Additional Information / Shotlist REPORT
HAYDAN DISTRICT, NORTHERN YEMEN

(CARTON) Abdullah’s house was destroyed in an airstrike 10 years ago

Abdullah (in Arabic)
Even now we’re scared, because the house is damaged. We worry it’ll fall down, but we haven’t the money to re-build it.

(CARTON) In March 2015, war broke out again in Yemen
The Saudi and Emirati-led international coalition consider Saada governorate a military target.
During periods of heavy bombing, Abdullah had to take refuge in the mountain

Many roads have been damaged by airstrikes.

Roxanna STAVILA – medical advider, MSF (in French)
In this region, transport is the main barrier to getting medical care. It’s a mountainous area and villages are quite far apart. It takes time and money to get from one place to another. And because of the war, some health centres have been damaged and can’t function.

(CARTON)
The MSF hospital and the school in Haydan were also bombed
The team is preparing to open a new hospital
They’re continuing their work in the old building
Outpatient consultations Maternity care Emergency and inpatient services

Roxanna STAVILA – référente médicale, MSF (en français)
We’re treating a 50-day-old baby who hasn’t taken any food for four days. He’s coughing and he probably has a lower respiratory tract infection. It took his family four days to get him to the hospital because they weren’t able to get hold of a car. So they got here very late and the child’s life is in danger.

(CARTON) In 2017, over 40% of patients admitted to the emergency room were children under the age of five.
The MSF team also stabilises and refers the war-wounded.
