Yemen hospitals overwhelmed by surge in war-wounded patients

Hospitals and health centres across Yemen are overwhelmed by an unprecedented surge in people wounded in fighting.

Front-line sites in Marib, Taiz and the Red Sea Coast are among those facing the heaviest casualty burdens, the International Committee of the Red Cross said. Some front-line health centres recorded more than 700 admissions in a single week, with mass-casualty influxes becoming increasingly frequent, the ICRC said.
