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. “The lives of patients at the hospital are at risk,” the hospital warned. Al-Thawra hospital runs on fuel donations from UN agencies and international organizations, in addition to fuel shipments from the local authorities.
