Children battle preventable childhood diseases in Yemen as immunization coverage declines


24 October 2023, Sana’a, Yemen – Yemen is facing a significant drop in immunization rates among children.

This has led to a resurgence and rise in vaccine-preventable diseases and associated deaths among children in Yemen.
