Yemen facing ‘world’s worst cholera outbreak’
The conflict in Yemen between Houthi rebels and a Saudi-led international coalition has left the country facing “the worst cholera outbreak in the world”, the United Nations has said.
More than 200,000 suspected cases have been recorded, with an average 5,000 new cases each day, according to Unicef and the World Health Organisation.
About 300 people, a quarter of them children, have died of the disease in the past two months.
