Yemen: Suspected cholera cases soar | UNICEF

Health workers are racing against time to save children from the unprecedented spread of cholera in Yemen. In just over one month, close to 70,000 cholera cases have been reported with nearly 600 fatalities. The number of suspected cases is expected to reach 130,000 within the next two weeks. The spread of the disease is turning an already dire situation for children into a disaster.
Since the start of the outbreak we’ve been working with partners to reach children and families. Our teams on the ground have provided safe water to over 1 million people and delivered over 40 tonnes of life-saving medical equipment – including medicine, oral rehydration salts, intravenous fluids and diarrhoea disease kits. We must act now to save children’s lives. Help us, help them:
