Yemen cholera cases triple as conflict fuels deadly outbreak
Cholera cases in Yemen have tripled, with aid agencies warning that years of conflict have devastated water systems, hospitals and sanitation, allowing the deadly disease to spread rapidly. Health workers say displaced populations and damaged infrastructure are leaving millions exposed, and international organisations are urging urgent funding and humanitarian access to contain the outbreak.
Why now: The sharp tripling of cases highlights how Yemen's ongoing war is turning a preventable disease into a major health emergency.
