Fuel shortage causes largest hospital in Yemen’s Taiz to shut down

A fuel crisis has forced the largest hospital in Yemen’s central Taiz province to stop operations on Sunday, according to the hospital.

In a statement, Al-Thawra General Hospital said fuel shortage has caused all hospital’s sections to shut down. Al-Thawra hospital runs on fuel donations from UN agencies and international organizations, in addition to fuel shipments from the local authorities.

The eight-year conflict in Yemen has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions risking starvation.
