Coalition countries’ political motives obstruct medical bridge flights: Official

Head of the Supreme Committee for Humanitarian Medical Bridge Dr. Mutahar Darwish on Tuesday said that Saudi-led coalition countries’ political motives stand behind the obstruction of the medicinal bridge flights for two years.

“There are not logistical reasons at the receiving countries as the World Health Organization claims,” Dr. Darwish added in an interview with al-Masirah TV Channel.

He indicated that the Committee has received 32 thousand files of patients with incurable diseases, and there are tens of thousands of patients in need of treatment outside Yemen.

“The World Health Organization did not provide any positive indication about the date of the first flight of the medical bridge or the programming of the rest of flights,” Dr. Darwish said.

He considered the world’s silence on the continuation of the aggression coalition forces in the ban on flights from and to Sanaa Airport as a slow death sentence and suffering for tens of thousands of patients.
