Houthis block delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to territories under their control

A Yemeni Public Health official said Houthi militants blocked the delivery of a shipment of coronavirus vaccines to areas under their control, state agency Saba News reported.

The vaccines were meant to be distrusted to people in Houthi-controlled areas in northern Yemen, the report added.

The deputy health minister Ali Al-Walidi told a WHO-sponsored virtual meeting of Mediterranean health ministers about the militia’s action.
