MSF is witnessing a catastrophe unfold in our #COVID19 treatment centre in #Aden, #Yemen

Apr 30 - May 17 we admitted 173 patients, at least 68 of whom died.

What's worse is we know we are seeing only a small proportion of those people sick and dying in the city. Government burial statistics in #Aden show that daily burials have risen to 80 from a pre-outbreak normal of 10.

Another indication of how widespread the outbreak has become is the number of healthcare professionals we are treating in our centre.
