After suffering six years of war and one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, many people in Yemen believe the coronavirus is being used as a weapon by their enemies.
Yemen is already vulnerable to the pandemic seeing as the country has been devastated by six years of civil war and the population has been weakened, giving the people of Yemen a uniquely dangerous exposure to the deadly
coronavirus. With its medical facilities shattered, nearly a quarter of the country’s districts do not have a single doctor. Many Yemenis say the coronavirus does not exist and believe it is a viral attack on them inflicted by the West.
