(MENAFN) 55 tons of medical aid has been delivered to Yemen's capital Sanaa by the World Health Organization (WHO), according to the country's official media on Monday.

SABA news agency reported that a cargo plane carrying 55 tons of medical equipment arrived at Sana International Airport, adding that the shipment includes necessary medical equipment, antibiotics, and blood and serum, as well as first aid material.

The shipments include essential medicine, insulin vials, antibiotics, rabies vaccines, intravenous (IV) fluids, and other medical supplies and equipment, it added.

Yemen has been racked by violence since 2014 when Houthi rebels overran much of the country. The conflict escalated in 2015 when Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a devastating air campaign aimed at rolling back Houthi gains.

Thousands of Yemenis have been killed in the Arabian-American coalition's attack and more than 2,000 have died due to cholera epidemic.
