The Yemeni civil war had left more than 50,000 civilians dead or injured in the past 10 years, causing severe humanitarian crisis in the country, according to the latest data released by the Houthi group on Wednesday. In 2014, a conflict broke out between the Yemeni government and the Houthi group, and the latter took over the Yemeni capital of Sanaa in September. In March 2015, a number of Arab states launched the a joint operation coded "Decisive Storm" against Houthis. Since then, the country has fallen into a state of war. The data showed that the war has killed 15,885 people and injured 34,594 others in the war. Meanwhile, 165 medical facilities were destroyed, and 376 others were partially damaged in the war, with over 55 percent of medical institutions shut down, one pharmaceutical factory and two oxygen plants destroyed, and 100 ambulances scrapped. The war has also left many children malnourished and stunted, and many pregnant women suffering health problems in Yemen, while some diseases that had disappeared have resurged in the country. Meanwhile, the shortage of medicine and the large-scale loss of medical staff have further exacerbated the medical crisis. After the Houthis' takeover of Sanaa, Yemen presents a stark picture of north-south division. The Houthis control most of the northern areas, including Sanaa and the strategic Red Sea port of Hodeidah. The internationally recognized Yemeni government, led by the Presidential Leadership Council since April 2022, mainly controls the southern and eastern regions, with Aden serving as the temporary capital.
