Publicity preparations completed for measles vaccination campaign
The National Centre for Health Education and Information announced through government-run Saba that awareness and publicity preparations for the 2026 measles and rubella vaccination campaign were complete. Its director, Aref al-Hawshabi, said the plan includes awareness materials, field activities and coordination with radio and television stations, also targeting displacement camps. The source establishes that preparations were announced, not that vaccinations have started or coverage targets have been met.

According to the agency, the committee reviewed urgent food and medical needs in Taiz and proposals for securing and delivering supplies, as well as coordination with local authorities on relief for displaced people.

Al Dhale attack follow-up: governor visits wounded as another toll adds to discrepancies
Aden Al Ghad reported that Al Dhale governor Ahmed Qaid al-Qubbah visited people wounded in the attack on a military site in the north of the governorate and ordered medical care for them. In a separate report, Al Masdar Online quoted an unnamed local source reporting about 6 killed and 16 wounded at a recruits’ camp in Qardah, north of Qatabah. Those figures differ from two earlier accounts: 7 killed and 50 wounded in Aden Al Ghad, and 10 killed and 20 wounded in Al Mashhad Al Yemeni. We found no final official toll or independent confirmation of the numbers or resolution of the differing location names; this is a follow-up to the earlier attack, not a new attack, and the tolls are not added together.
