Yemen cholera outbreak shows signs of slowing
A cholera
New York - Egypt Today
A cholera outbreak in Yemen, which has claimed 1,400 lives in two months, shows tentative signs of slowing as fatality rates drop by half, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.
Nearly 219,000 suspected cases have been registered since April 27 and more than 1,400 people have died, the UN agency said.
The collapse of Yemen’s infrastructure after more than two years of war has made for a “perfect storm for cholera,” the WHO’s senior emergency adviser for Yemen, Ahmed Zouiten, said.
But fatality rates have dropped from 1.7 percent in early May to 0.6 percent now, he added.
He attributed the fall to emergency intervention by health workers.
