VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES LIKE MEASLES INCREASING IN YEMEN

Yemen faces a significant drop in immunization rates among children.
This decline continues to worsen as a result of economic deterioration, low incomes, displacement, and overcrowded living conditions in camps, coupled with an overstretched health system. Moreover, millions of children cannot be reached by routine immunization activities due to lack of access to health services, including outreach and outbreak response in some governorates.
