In a statement issued, according to the Ministry of Health on Saturday, the Ministry has prepared a plan for the requirement of medical devices, equipment and essential medicines to enable the health sector and provide minimum health services.
The statement added that' "a copy of those needs has been submitted to international organizations, but to date there has been no real response from all of them despite many promises.
It pointed out that the US-Saudi crime that was committed on Thursday morning, and the previous crimes have exposed the lack of essential and life-saving medicines, in both the capital and the rest of the governorates. It stressed that, "many of the victims lost their lives due to the large deficit of equipment, supplies and medicines. A number of victims suffer partial or complete disabilities as a result of delays in the work of international organizations in our country."
The Ministry called on the international community, the United Nations and its international organizations to fulfill their commitments quickly to respond to the emergency and humanitarian situation, especially in the health sector, and to provide the basic and necessary needs provided by the Ministry.
