3Health Risks and Limited Medical Facilities
The conflict has severely impacted Yemen’s healthcare system, with many hospitals either destroyed or operating with limited supplies and staff.

For those with pre-existing health conditions or concerns about injury, the lack of reliable medical facilities is a major deterrent.
