Yemen reported 249,900 suspected cases of cholera and 861 deaths this year, representing 35% of the global burden, highlighting a severe health crisis.
The increase in cholera cases this year is primarily due to updated data from Yemen, with 37% more cases and 27% more deaths reported in November.
Humanitarian efforts in Yemen are constrained by a $20 million funding gap, forcing the WHO to close treatment centres, which severely limits disease management.
Immediate actions are necessary, including enhanced water, sanitation, hygiene initiatives, and improved access to cholera vaccinations, to tackle the urgent cholera situation in Yemen.
