Cholera cases surpass 100,000, death toll hits 780 in Yemen: WHO

‘The World Health Organization (WHO) says the number of suspected cholera cases in conflict-ridden Yemen has exceeded 100,000 in less than two months, with the death toll hitting over 780.
“To date, 101,820 suspected cholera cases and 789 deaths have been reported in 19 governorates,” WHO spokesman, Tarik Jasarevic, told Reuters on Thursday.
A cholera outbreak began in Yemen on April 27. This is the second wave of the disease in the Arabian Peninsula country, where 19 million people are in need of help with food shortages and hunger spreading.
Cholera infection first became epidemic in Yemen last October and spread until December, when it dwindled.’
