Yemen’s critically ill are trapped as war closes the country’s airports

What happened: Yemen's Sanaa International Airport has no regular flights, leaving critically ill patients in Houthi-controlled northern Yemen unable to reach treatment abroad, Al Jazeera reported. Key numbers: Device replacement costs $100 every two months. Why it matters: With Sanaa closed, Aden under attack and Seiyun out of service, patients in the north have limited options. UN envoy Hans Grundberg told the Security Council the country had slid back into full-scale war.
