It’s hard to imagine what COVID-19 could do to countries already affected entirely by war when you live in a country where currently the worst thing going on falls quite short of that. Yemen currently is under siege from a Saudi based Militia, and an Iran based Militia. One of these Militia’s recently attacked an oil line. Luckily this oil line was not in use, but the group that did it won’t take credit. Neither side has made a single claim or message regarding the attack.
This country has many many people left stranded due to the war, which means during the COVID-19 pandemic they can not take the precautions necessary to combat the pandemic. It’s sad but extremely true and something I think that everyone should take time to be informed upon, to see just how good we have it in America.
There are hopes that this stalemated war, will come to peace talks because of the current situation of the war. Definitely something to follow and look into if you’re not doing anything at home! None of the information above, is mine. It was all presented to me by the Middle East Monitor, and I simply analyzed it for my colleagues to be better informed.
