A protester was killed and others were wounded Thursday by the security forces of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council fired live bullets at a peaceful demonstration in the city of Crater in Aden Governorate, south of Yemen.

Local sources said that a spontaneous demonstration was launched in the city's streets to protest the behavior of the security forces of the Transitional Council against the people.

Yesterday, the city witnessed similar angry demonstrations that the security forces loyal to the Transitional Council used live bullets to disperse them.

In the same context, local sources said in the Al-Muhafid area of ​​Abyan Governorate, south of Yemen, that gunmen belonging to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council, targeted military hardware for the Yemeni army in the Al-Mahfid area, was coming from Shabwa Governorate to Abyan Governorate, and they were able to kill two soldiers and damage a tank.

The Yemeni army has been fighting and clashes for several days against the militants of the Southern Transitional Council.

A new humanitarian catastrophe
 On the humanitarian level, MSF said that the number of deaths at the Corona Patient Center, which it runs in Aden, reflects a wider catastrophe in the governorate.

In a statement, she added that the only center dedicated to treating corona patients in the entire south of Yemen had received 173 patients from the 30th of April 30 to the seventeenth of May, and at least 68 of them died.

The organisation's operations director said it was immoral for the world to leave Aden and the rest of Yemen alone in the face of this crisis.

She pointed out that the high level of deaths is equivalent to the levels of intensive care units in Europe, but that the people who die are much younger than those who die in France or Italy.

MSF called on the United Nations, donor countries and the local authority to do more urgent efforts to help respond to Aden and other areas of Yemen.

In an interview with Al-Jazeera in the Bulletin of the Center, the spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Yemen, Yara Khawaja, said that millions of Yemenis find it difficult to access clean water.

Khawaja added that the repercussions of the Coronavirus have added many burdens to the deteriorating human reality throughout Yemen.
