STORYLINE:
More than seven years of war and blockade have plunged Yemen deep into one of the world's worst humanitarian crises and left millions without health care. Cancer patients, including children, often have to wait in long lines and travel miles to get their vital treatment.
The Houthi-controlled health ministry in Sanaa said that the death rate of leukemia patients increased to nearly 50 percent because of the scarcity of medical staff, medicines, and equipment.
