April 2017 – “Every Day Things are Getting Worse” The Impact on Children of Attacks on Health Care in Yemen was launched in New York on April 20, 2017. The report highlights how the targeting of medical facilities and personnel in 2015 and 2016 has had devastating impacts on children’s health. The report details attacks on medical facilities and personnel by parties to the conflict in three governorates (Saada, Sanaa, and Taiz), and describes how these attacks have compounded challenges to children’s health, already exacerbated by the escalation of armed conflict. Based on field research, the report provides policy recommendations to key stakeholders, including the Saudi Arabia-led coalition, the Houthis, humanitarian actors, Member States, and United Nations agencies to strengthen children’s right to health care.
