Spread of fevers in Taiz put further strain on the health system

During the past days, hospitals and health centers in Taiz governorate, southwest Yemen, have received dozens of patients with malaria, dengue, colds, typhoid, and other fevers.

Taiz is one of the Yemeni governorates with the highest cases of fever and virus infections because of the cold winter and weather change, amid the absence of medical centers in many areas.

The city has been under siege by the Houthi group for six years, during which, the war in the city resulted in widespread destruction including hospitals and health centers.
