Yemen: Number of Suspected Cholera Cases Increases Amid War

HeadlineDec 01, 2016

In Yemen, the number of suspected cholera cases is growing amid the ongoing war between Houthi rebels and the ousted Yemeni government backed by U.S.-supported, Saudi-led airstrikes. This is U.N. official George Khoury.

George Khoury: “So far we have 7,700 suspected cases of cholera in 12 governorates of Yemen. We have an increase of 27 percent in the number of suspected cases as compared to last week, although the case fatality rate is declining, and that’s thanks to the response by the humanitarian partners.”
