They've learned to live with war, starvation and cholera.

And now there's a new threat.

One that shattered the world was developed countries Corona virus in Yemen.

The first official case of Kuvin 19 was announced on April 10th.

Since then, schools of cases have been detected across the country.

Were half of all the medical facilities have been destroyed by war.

The Kuwait Hospital is still operating.

It's said to be the best equipped in Sanaa to receive patients with Cove in 19.

The BBC has gained access to it.

No Sameera knows how dangerous the virus is in such a fragile health system.

Jamari racy You didn't crash J and there are only 200 ventilators for a population of nearly 30 million people.

The Houthi movement, based in the north of the country, has only announced two cases and one death in Sanaa.

But our sources tell us that the situation is more dire, that there have been schools of covert 19 cases and deaths and son are alone onto the U.

N.

Warns that the virus could be spreading undetected in Yemen.

Well, Hala, what's reporting on the Corona virus has been banned by the authorities.

Videos like this one have been circulating on social media.

Yet across the country there have been few containment measures to keep the pandemic at bay.

In some neighborhoods, mosques were closed and markets shut down, but others are still terrifyingly crowded.

Here.

In this quarantine center, health workers are scrambling to prepare for a Fed influx of covert 19 cases.

I have family.

There is so much to do in a country that's already the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

The people here are acutely malnourished.

Cholera and diphtheria waves have ripped through the country over the years.

It's left the population with one of the lowest levels of immunity to disease in the world.

That's not all.

Clean water is a scarce commodity in Yemen.

Washing hands, a simple rule to prevent the spread of infection is almost impossible.

More than 24 million people survive on humanitarian aid.

That's been hampered by the Saudi led coalition defector blockade, and now American aid officials decided to hold funding, cutting off about $70 million in assistance destined for people in the Houthi controlled northern part of the country.

U s aid says the Houthis all to blame.

So we know that the U.

S.

Has pulled a lot of its humanitarian funding to northern Yemen.

Tell me what impact that's going to have on the Corona virus response by NGOs in Yemen.

Yemen is particularly unique to Kobe, 19 and already in Yemen to deliver aid to help prop up failing health systems.

The authorities have made it incredibly difficult, and it tried to interfere in our work where there's a risk that aid isn't going to go where it's supposed to go and those programs and keep the aid flowing to people who need it most.

Otherwise, it's Yemenis who are living in fear of Cove in 19 will suffer the most.

Despite a ceasefire designed to help the country focus on containing the virus, fighting has continued.

This war has brought Yemen to its knees.

And now, with the deadly pandemic, there is no sign of relief for the people here.

No, Alan McGuffey, BBC news.

Thank you.
