Yemen, Saada governorate, Haydan hospital, 20 April 2019 - Dr Scaini is checking on Salwa, who can't breath properly. MSF has been working in Haydan since 2015. On 26 October 2015, the hospital was hit by a Saudi and Emirati-led coalition airstrike, partially destroying the facility. In February 2017, MSF teams came back to Haydan and started a progressive implementation of medical activities: maternity (March 2017), IPD (April 2017), referral to Saada hospitals (May 2017), OPD (December 2017). They finished the hospital's reconstruction in April 2018. In 2018, around 14,000 emergency consultations and 3,800 antenatal consultations were provided at the hospital. The same year, more than 1,500 patients were admitted and treated in the IPD. Haydan is located in Saada governorate, which remains the most targeted governorate by Saudi and Emirati-led coalition (SELC) airstrikes, according to the independent monitoring group Yemen Data Project (YDP). In 2018, 1,306 air raids hit this governorate (39% of all recorded air raids), more than in any other year since 2015 (YDP). According to YDP, 17,729 civilians were injured or killed in SELC air raids between 2015 and 2019 in Yemen.
