Due to the imposed blockade……Sana’a calls on UN to save life of conjoined twins

Director General of the Health Office in the capital, has called on the United Nations, the World Health Organisation and all international organisations urgently intervene to save the lives of the newly born Siamese twins, because their condition is serious and unstable.

Dr. Mutahar Abbas Al-Marwani,said in a statement that the Siamese twins who were born today are in need for an urgent surgical intervention to save their lives. However, there are no means or specialised centers to carry out such operations inside Yemen, and it is impossible to bring them outside of Yemen because of the blockade and the closure of Sanaa airport.

The doctor further called on the United Nations, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and international medical organisations to send a plane to rescue the twins and transfer them to one of the international centers specialised in these operations or to send a medical team to perform the surgery inside Yemen.

The rate of postnatal death, congenital deformity or death of fetuses in their mothers’ wombs has increased all over the country, due to the use of internationally banned biological weapons used by the US Saudi-led aggression coalition on the border province of Saada, northern Yemen.
