世卫组织驻也门紧急项目负责人Mike Ryan在也门高级别认捐会议上表示，也门是全球最复杂的人道主义行动所在地1。在过去五年中，世卫组织及其合作伙伴应对了全球最大的霍乱疫情，保护了超过1000万人1。此外，世卫组织和合作伙伴支持了也门80%的治疗性营养不良喂养中心，成功救治了91%患有医学并发症的儿童1。在医疗咨询服务方面，世卫组织及合作伙伴提供了也门70%的相关服务1。
新冠疫情的出现进一步加重了也门的人道主义危机，促使世卫组织采取扩大应对规模的举措1。上周，世卫组织与世界粮食计划署通过COVID供应链平台空运了超过34000公斤的药品和医疗物资至也门，其中包括6.5吨新冠个人防护装备和实验室诊断用品1。本周计划继续空运7吨个人防护装备和18吨药品1。为应对疫情，世卫组织计划将隔离中心扩大至59个，同时将应对队伍从300多个增加到900多个1。
Dr. Mike Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, outlined the organization's substantial humanitarian efforts in Yemen during a high-level pledging conference, emphasizing the need for significantly increased international assistance.1
Over the past five years, the WHO and its partners have responded to the world's largest cholera outbreak in Yemen while protecting over 10 million people.1 The organization and its partners support 80 percent of therapeutic nutrition feeding centers in Yemen, having saved 91 percent of children with medical complications, and provide support for 70 percent of medical consultation services across the country.1 Last week alone, the WHO and the World Food Programme airlifted over 34,000 kilograms of medicines and medical supplies through the COVID supply chain platform, including 6.5 tons of COVID-19 personal protective equipment and laboratory diagnostic materials.1 The organizations are preparing to transport an additional 7 tons of personal protective equipment and 18 tons of medicines to Yemen this week.1
Ryan described Yemen as the site of the world's most complex humanitarian operation and noted that COVID-19 has further deteriorated the situation.1 In response, the WHO plans to expand isolation centers to 59 facilities and increase response teams from over 300 to 900 personnel.1 The organization has called for substantial increases in international support for COVID-19 operations and other health interventions in Yemen.1
