Oct.31 /Yemeni press
The health situation in Yemen is getting bad in a day, due to the blockade and ugly brutal aggression and viciousness in front of the international silence. The whole world sees what is happening in Yemen and the media convey news of crimes that occur because of continued aggression Also, newspapers around the world write about Yemen low health situation in most Yemeni provinces.
Here are details about health situation, which published in the Britain’s newspaper Independent which increases the legalization of Britain’s position by continuing to participate in the coalition against Yemen:
The number of suspected cholera cases in war-ravaged Yemen has ballooned to more than 1,400 in under three weeks, according to the World Health Organisation. An outbreak of the deadly disease was announced in early October in the capital Sanaa, but WHO officials said soon after that it had not spread.
However, the organisation has now announced that there were 1,410 suspected cholera cases in 10 of Yemen’s 23 governorates, mostly in Taiz, Aden, Lahj, Hodeida and Sanaa. The organisation has released $1m (£820,000) of emergency funding to help combat the illness. More than 7.6 million people are living in the areas affected by cholera.
The water-borne disease can advance quickly when infrastructure is damaged and clean water is hard to come by, as is the case in Yemen. If unchecked, the illness could affect up to 76,000 people, with more than 15,000 severe cases requiring medical admission, the WHO predicted. A rapid proliferation of the disease would add a further dimension to the complex humanitarian crisis gripping the country.
Malnutrition, also a problem, wears down the immune system and makes people, especially youngsters, much more vulnerable to disease. The world was shocked by images of 18-year-old Saida Ahmad Baghili as she lay on a bed in the Red Sea city of Hodeida, severely malnourished.
Fourteen million people are hungry, particularly in remote areas, and 370,000 children starving, according to Unicef estimates. There are fears of famine in many provinces. Much of the hunger is because of a blockade – Yemen used to import the majority of its food – and a bombing campaign by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition fighting in the country.
This increases the confirmation condemnation the international community towards the stance against Yemen and Yemenis
