Yemen reports first two deaths from coronavirus

Yemen reported five COVID-19 cases with two deaths in Aden. So far, Yemen has been largely spared from the spread of coronavirus, reporting only a single case in early April in the southern government-controlled province of Hadramawt.

The United Nations has declared Yemen, where war a conflict erupted in 2014, as “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” with millions suffering malnutrition and a crumbling healthcare system.

Over the past six years, tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the conflict, according to relief agencies.

More than 24 million Yemenis, or more than two-thirds of the population, need aid, according to the United Nations.
