It's a critical time for hospitals and clinics in Yemen.
The country has a chronic malnutrition problem and ongoing outbreaks of cholera, measles and polio, says Marc Schakal, the program manager for Doctors without Borders.
"We are already seeing in our pediatrics an increasing number of admissions. We are reaching 120% bed occupancy," Schakal says.
The group has procured over 100 tons of therapeutic foods to treat severe malnutrition in children under 5. But that, along with other key medications, is stuck in Dubai's Jebel Ali Port, a critical hub for medical and humanitarian supplies.
"Our main priority is to have this therapeutic food arriving in Yemen on time," he says.
