"In the past four weeks alone, 55,200 cholera cases were reported,''said Geert Cappelaere, UNICEF Regional Director, in a statement
on the spread of cholera in Yemen.
"Yemen has one of the world’s highest number of acutely malnourished children. Public services are on the brink of collapse.
More and more children die every day in Yemen from preventable causes like malnutrition and cholera. Time is running out.
