In Yemen, officials have declared a state of emergency in the capital Sana’a over a cholera outbreak that has already killed 115 people. Yemen’s health, water and sanitation services have been severely impacted by the ongoing U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war on Yemen. This is Dr. Hussein El Haddad, the director of one of the few hospitals in Sana’a that is still functioning.
Dr. Hussein El Haddad: “The situation is very bad. The children that are suffering from cholera are countless, and there aren’t enough beds. The technical know-how [in the hospital] is also insufficient to deal with the situation we are facing.”
