Minister of Health and Population Dr. NaserBaoom said that 1890 cholera-related deaths were recorded from 27 April to the end of July across Yemen.

           In a statement to Saba, he said that most of the death cases were focused in Hajjah, Sana'a, Hodeidah, Amran and Ibb.

           The rate of fatalities from the epidemic has, however, seen a decline since the end of July, the minister notes.

           "With continued medical support from the GCC states through King Salman Relief Center and the Emirati Red Crescent, we have managed to limit this epidemic." The minister praised the health workers "quietly doing their job of combating the epidemic in all provinces in spite of the war circumstances."
