Sanaa, MINA – The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said Coronavirus or Covid-19 vaccine doses received by Yemen are enough to only 1.5% of the country’s population.

“War-torn Yemen has so far received COVID-19 vaccine doses enough to cover only 1.5 percent of its population,” said OCHA in a Twitter post as quoted by Anadolu Agency.

The Yemeni government previously received only about half a million doses of COVID-19 vaccines provided by donors. Yemen’s population is about 30 million.

As of Friday evening, the total number of coronavirus infections in the areas under the control of the Yemeni government rose to 9,843, including 1,905 deaths.

Yemen has been engulfed by violence and instability since 2014, when Iran-aligned Houthi rebels captured much of the country, including the capital Sanaa.

A Saudi-led coalition aimed at reinstating the Yemeni government has worsened the situation, causing one of the world’s worst man-made humanitarian crises with 233,000 people killed, nearly 80% or about 30 million needing humanitarian assistance and protection, and more than 13 million in danger of starvation, according to UN estimates.
