WHO Warns Yemen Cholera Cases Have Tripled in Three Weeks Amid Measles Outbreak

Cholera cases in Yemen have tripled in three weeks as measles also spreads, the World Health Organization has warned.

In a statement, the WHO said intensifying conflict and growing needs had made additional resources urgently necessary to support an expanded health response.

The simultaneous spread of cholera and measles adds to the health challenges facing Yemen as the conflict escalates.

The WHO’s appeal focused on securing more resources to widen the health response and address the country’s increasing needs.
