Cholera death toll in Yemen rises to 676: WHO

SANAA, 5 June (BelTA - Anadolu Agency) - At least 676 people have died since a cholera epidemic broke out in war-torn Yemen in late April, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

In a Twitter post on Monday, WHO said more than 86,400 suspected cases of cholera had been registered in 19 Yemeni provinces.

International organizations - including the WHO, UNICEF and the International Committee of the Red Cross - have recently stepped up the delivery of medical supplies to Yemen, where local health authorities are struggling to cope with the outbreak.
