Everyday Emergency

Yemen: "A Devastating, Unjust Violence"


Listen Later

Yemen is in the grip of war. It is also one of the poorest countries in the world.

British anaesthetist Dr Elma Wong has recently returned from her fourth assignment working in the country with MSF.

In this episode of Everyday Emergency, we talk to Elma about her time in Mocha, a town on the west coast of Yemen. It sits around halfway between the port cities of Hodeidah to the north and Aden to the south, and our emergency medical centre is the only one of its kind in the area.
