Cancer patients in Yemen face the compounded pain of disease and conflict

WHO and partners are working to prioritize life-saving treatment needs for patients living with chronic, life-threatening conditions, including cancer as the ongoing conflict in Yemen has turned an already vulnerable country into the world’s largest man-made humanitarian crisis, taking away fundamental needs, like health care. Treatment is available at only a fifth of Yemen’s health facilities.
