In a statement granted to Agence France Presse, the representative of the World Health Organization, Yves Souteyrand, indicated that Tunisia has the “highest” Covid-19 death rate in the region with more than 16,000 deaths for 12 million inhabitants.
He added that the health situation is serious and that all indicators are red due to the rapid spread of Variant Delta. He also stressed that Tunisia needs help and vaccines to deal with this situation.
It should be mentioned that Tunisian public hospitals are currently facing an unprecedented influx of patients, and can no longer meet all the needs due to the lack of staff and equipment.
