Cholera outbreak in Yemen kills 70 in less than 48 hours
The World Health Organization says cholera has killed at least 70 Yemenis in less than two days.
The
WHO also says 10-thousand suspected cases of the disease have also been
recorded. According to the report, since the epidemic broke out across
Yemen in late April, nearly 750 people have lost their lives. The United
Nations has repeatedly voiced alarm over the cholera outbreak in the
war-torn country. Despite efforts by local authorities and aid
deliveries by international organizations, the number of cholera cases
has been on the rise. Aid workers say Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen and
its crippling sea and naval blockade have made it impossible for the
outbreak to be contained.
