ON-SCREEN TEXTS :

Ibb Governorate, Yemen

Raheeq, 11, just underwent an appendicitis surgery.

She was in pain for three days before arriving at the MSF hospital.

Her father took her to a private hospital first, but the cost was too high.

ITW – Subtitles :

The current war has as a consequence that the health system collapsed.
Now, it’s very difficult to get access to healthcare first of all, and the other thing is the very high impact on the livelihood of the population.
There’s a big economic crisis, prices are extremely high, food availability is low.
We have problems of malnutrition. We have also problems of cholera because the water sanitation in the city and the surroundings isn’t good.
We have as well complicated deliveries, we have gunshot wounded but more of origin of internal conflict in families or disputes. Sometimes we have some war wounded.
The medical needs in the area are high, and there’s many people that do not have access or equal access to healthcare here in this district.

ON-SCREEN TEXTS :

Raheeq's father is a public school teacher that hasn’t been paid in 3 years now, due to the economic crisis in Yemen.

But he continues to teach because he loves his profession.

Raheeq is now lying in the intensive care unit of MSF hospital, and she is improving every day.

Further away from the frontlines, Yemenis are dealing with the indirect consequences of war.

Sine the beginning of the year, in the MSF hospital in Dhi As Sufal:

4628 patients treated in the emergency department

5757 cholera patients admitted

2336 surgeries performed

But many people never make it to health facilities due to lack of functioning hospitals near them, and high fuel & transport costs.
