WHO Reports Thousands of Cholera and Measles Cases Among Yemen’s Displaced

The World Health Organization has reported widespread outbreaks of cholera and measles among displaced people in Yemen, with thousands of infections and dozens of deaths recorded.

The agency warned that a severe funding shortage is sharply limiting its ability to respond to the crisis.

The reported figures cover the two diseases, but the announcement did not provide a breakdown of cases or deaths for each.

The outbreaks add to the difficulties facing people displaced in Yemen, as the scale of infections places greater demands on an already constrained response.

WHO’s warning highlights the gap between the needs of affected communities and the resources available to address the outbreaks.
