Yemen now has world's largest outbreak of cholera...

Yemen Struggling With Cholera Outbreak, Currently World's Largest
June 20, 2017 — The World Health Organization (WHO) reports the cholera outbreak in Yemen has spread to practically every part of the war-torn country. Suspected cases of cholera and acute watery diarrhea now top 170,000, with 1,170 deaths.

WHO reports cholera has spread to 20 of Yemen’s 22 governorates in just two months. Spokesman Tarik Jasarevic says aid agencies are scaling up their operation and refining their response. He says it is not possible to cover the country at all times, so WHO and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) workers are going to so-called hotspots - the most affected areas - to treat cholera victims who are most at risk. He calls the situation a very challenging one. “If you look at the numbers, we are talking close to 2,000 suspected cases a day. Cholera is endemic in Yemen. It is currently the largest cholera outbreak that we have in the world,” Jasarevic said.

Cholera can be easily treated by replacing lost fluids right away. But patients can die within hours if the disease is left untreated. Jasarevic says cholera is being transmitted through contaminated water so it is critical to provide people with a clean water supply. “It is difficult in a situation where a country has a health system that is collapsing. There is simply no money in the budget and health facilities are not having money to run their daily operations. There is also the issue of waste collection that obviously affects the quality of water and access to clean water,” he said.

Jasarevic says the WHO and UNICEF are providing water purification tablets and are chlorinating water in an effort to keep contaminated water sources at a minimum. He says both agencies also are providing money to health workers as an incentive to have them treat cholera patients. He notes health workers have not received a salary in six months.

you are right in ascribing the current state of affairs in Yemen to the sunni/shiiit feud invented in the
"holy" family of the rapist nabi-----but expect lots of EXTERNALIZING. Yemen was---long ago,
a fairly prosperous place. The land if rough ---mountainous----but fertile and it is right there on

Yemen struggling under cholera epidemic...

Yemen struggling under weight of cholera epidemic
Aug. 2, 2017 ) -- Two groups warned this week about the ongoing cholera epidemic in Yemen, reinvigorating calls for international humanitarian aid.

The groups said Yemen is battling a slew of other problems that, coupled with the cholera crisis, are taking their toll on the country's vulnerable citizens. The United Nations, in a post Tuesday, said there have been at least 400,000 cholera cases in the country reported in the past few months. The cases have led to nearly 2,000 deaths.

The global children's advocacy group Save the Children also warned of Yemen's dire situation -- saying the epidemic is especially harming the very youngest Yemenis.[ The group described "hot zones" where there are especially high rates of cholera. In those areas, it said, there are more than 1 million malnourished children under the age of 5 -- including almost 200,000 suffering from severe malnutrition.

Cholera-infected Yemenis receive treatment amid an outbreak in Sana'a, Yemen. Humanitarian organizations warned this week an acute cholera outbreak in Yemen has claimed the lives of nearly 1,900 people since April.​

If they contract cholera, those malnourished children are at least three times more likely to die because they already have weakened immune systems, Save the Children estimated. The United Nations said the country's continued war, lack of proper sanitation systems, economic struggles and prevalent rates of poverty are worsening the cholera crisis' effects. Government forces have fought Houthi rebels for the last two years in Yemen.

The country is "racing towards the edge of a cliff," Auke Lootsma, U.N. Development Program Country Director, said. He also noted that 70 percent of Yemenis need humanitarian aid. "After two years of armed conflict, children are trapped in a brutal cycle of starvation and sickness. And it's simply unacceptable," Tamer Kirolos, Save the Children's Country Director for Yemen, said in that group's news release. "Our teams are dealing with a horrific scenario of babies and young children who are not only malnourished but also infected with cholera."

seems to me that capt blei addresses me as "loving" Saudi Arabia. I have considered his statement and
now understand that his only possible support for such an absurd idea is the fact that I have
correctly cited the fact that Iran wants to invade that particular Islamic shit hole. Blei is desperate in his
quest to disparage any person who does not seek to lick the shitty ass of the mass murderer----ASSAD or
even anyone who does not support the filth and violence wrought in YEMEN by the SHIITS of Iran.

Yemen and Saudi Arabia are, culturally, and linguistically linked. Long ago they were considered ----
simply ARABIA. Genetically they are probably VERY mixed up----- Yemen is like an impoverished
rejected brother--------a fact not lost on the filth of Imperialist Iran which has happily opted to sacrifice the
runt brother in its quest to POSSESS the black turd of Mecca and the HIGH SEAS The joke of the century is the claim ---which seems to be invented by Baathist shit in alliance with Iran that somehow------SAUDI ARABIA ----
wants to OWN YEMEN. Saudi Arabia could easily have OWNED Yemen for the past 1000
years---------but what would Saudi Arabia WANT yemen for. Even the Ottoman dogs that did own
Yemen long ago-------barely pissed on wasteland Iran sees the POTENTIAL

It is the Zionist-Sunni alliance that renders irosie´s dilemma. Saudi Arabia even offered Israel airbases in Saudi Arabia in a war against Iran. Saudi Arabia and the other Wahabi Caliphates are the legacy of the British Empire´s rule over large parts of the world. Those are privately owned countries imposing strict sharia law onto the people.

The Houthis don´t exactly love Israel and the USA. But that isn´t a reason to support Saudi Arabia´s starvation and bombing of civilians, terror groups and mercenaries. The Coalition also kills many civilians.
