Patients receive medical treatment for H1N1 in a hospital in Sanaa, Yemen, on Feb. 17, 2019. Aminah Mohsen, 70, is a patient arriving at a public hospital in Yemen's rebel-held capital Sanaa. She is suffering from swine flu, also known as H1N1 influenza. Plagued by cholera, malnutrition, diphtheria and now swine flu, the Arab country is unable to cope with the most deadly epidemics as its four years of civil war has almost destroyed its healthcare system.
