This is how Yemeni patients are being killed deliberately

I looked to my right and left, and saw patients groaning and suffering, their eyes looking up, and their good and pure souls leaving their bodies.

Yemeni patients in the time of aggression and siege struggle; In order to survive, they live stories of leaving and traveling between private and government hospitals in Yemen, whose efforts and services are limited. Their services deteriorated due to the blockade.

The Al-Masirah newspaper took a tour to several hospitals. It was then figured that, after a number of Yemeni patients confirmed, that the siege on Sana’a International Airport by the forces of aggression and the US-Saudi siege is killing them, and taking away their rights to life and treatment, noting that any truces will not work with them and that any extension must condition a comprehensive end of the siege.

In an interview made by Al-Masirah newspaper, the patients held the United Nations and other human rights organizations fully responsible, pointing out that the international community and its organizations are partners in the deliberate killing and extermination of Yemeni patients.

The patients call on the international community and the United Nations to do their part to end the aggression, lift the siege, and bring those involved in their killing to international justice, recalling that the crimes of aggression and siege will not pass without consequences. The patients said that what is being practiced against them represents a stigma against humanity.

Ali Ali Al-Jadaei, who suffers from kidney disease, pulmonary tuberculosis and prostate (diseases that require him to go abroad for treatment) says that they have tried every way possible to travel abroad, but failed. Then, he said, we were told to be transferred to this hospital.

While patient Ahmed Sufyan al-Qafar, a cancer patient who has been searching for a source of salvation for years, says: “All patients in the world are guaranteed the right to treatment in any country except for the Yemeni people. Why is the US-Saudi aggression depriving us of our right to live and why the Security Council and the United Nations are participating in killing us?”

Al-Qafar asks a number of questions by saying, “Where are the international covenants and treaties? Where are the human rights that we have always heard them talk about? Where is the dignity of mankind? We are helpless in this war, so why do they deliberately kill us and deprive us of our legitimate right to medical care?”

Al-Qafar, in an interview with Al-Masirah newspaper, said: “We address the conscience of all the free people of the world to stand by our oppression, which is the largest in the world, and reveal the truth, do not be silent today, as the day may come when America will kill you in cold blood and without finding anyone standing next to you and supporting you.”

Al-Qafer calls on all the free people of the world and human rights organizations to speak out for the truth and publicize the grievances of the Yemeni people and to expose America and its tools that continue to kill the Yemeni people, besiege them and confiscate their rights.

In turn, Yasser Al-Hashidi, the father of the child, Mawadda, who passed away a year ago, says: Because of cancer: “I was looking for any opportunity to treat my child abroad, but I did not find any hope other than to surrender and stay in Yemeni hospitals deprived of modern medical devices and many appropriate treatments.”

Al-Hashidi added: “The American-Saudi aggression takes pleasure in killing our children and preventing them from their right to treatment. However, we have not witnessed any role for the United Nations, the Security Council and humanitarian organizations other than silence and making money in return for that. As long as we breathe, we will take revenge on all our patients and martyrs, and the Yemeni people, as each day passes, confirms this on various fronts.

Citizen Mohammed Ghaleb Al-Wasabi, who suffers from kidney failure at Al-Thawra General Hospital in the capital, Sana’a, sums up his speech to Al-Masirah newspaper, saying: “It is true that they deprived us of our right to travel for treatment abroad, and this is a flagrant violation of all human values ​​and principles, but what we rely on today is the ability of our people to keep their steadfastness and obtain our full rights with force. Thanks to Allah, what we saw in the military parades brings us back hope in that and our leadership and military forces are able, with Allah’s help, to take our rights, and take revenge for our people.”

A ten-year-old girl, Fatima Al-Raymi, says: “What is my fault that I was deprived of my right to treatment, because I did not harm anyone, and I have no involvement in wars, and my father is busy treating me, so why do they deliberately kill us with disease and deprive us of treatment?” What do we represent to them? Why all this hatred for our childhood? Is our childhood different from the childhood of their children and youngsters! I hardly know in which world I was born? Are we in a forest in which the strong kills the weak? Where are the rights of childhood in my wounded homeland? We no longer comprehend reality and are watching death day and night.”

The child, Fatima Al-Raymi, continues her speech, shedding tears and groans, and wondering: “Do I have the right to live? I have the right to continue my studies and education, I have the right to be a doctor when I grow up to treat patients, so why do they take away my rights and confiscate my dreams?” She added, “I can not continue,” then starts to shed tears.

Patients with cancer, liver, heart, kidney failure, and other diseases that have been killing the Yemeni people, are increasing day by day, and dozens of them die in the hope of waiting for the siege on Sana’a International Airport to be lifted, in light of international silence and the complicity of international and humanitarian organizations.
