Doctors in
Yemen have reported an increase in children born with deformities as
a result of the two-year war that has left the country on the brink
of famine.
The
al-Sabeen Maternity and Child Hospital in the capital, Sana’a, has
seen an increase in babies being born prematurely and with
deformities, which doctors say is a result of the war and the
Saudi-led coalition’s bombs.
“These
cases of deformities have drastically increased over the past two
years, due to the assault on Yemen, the rockets and the cluster
bombs,” Doctor Abdulkarim al-Najjar said Wednesday.
Video
footage taken from al-Sabeen hospital shows babies brought in from
Al-Hudaydah coastal area, which has been targeted by airstrikes. The
children have abnormally large skulls and painful-looking swollen
heads covered in veins.
