Additional Information / Shotlist A second wave of COVID-19 is currently spreading over large parts of Yemen. The impact on the population in Yemen and the healthcare system are really devastating. There are major oxygen shortages and a shortage of ICU beds all over Yemen. MSF is currently responding here at the Al Ghamouriha COVID-19 treatment centre where we provide 11 ICU beds and 48 in-patient beds for patients with severe COVID infection. Due to gravity of the situation, we call on all medical humanitarian organisations to immediately scale up their response to the COVID-19 outbreak in Yemen. And we call on Institutional donors who cut their funding for the humanitarian response in Yemen to scale up and make sure that the necessary funds are available. After 6 years of civil war in Yemen, the health system is crippled. All of the actors must come together to respond to the current COVID-19 outbreak in the country.
