Yemen: More Than 900 Have Died in Ongoing Cholera Outbreak
----------------------------------------------------------

This comes as the death toll from an escalating cholera outbreak in
Yemen has now topped 900. More than a quarter of the victims were
children. The U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign and naval blockade
has devastated Yemen's sanitation, water and health infrastructure, with
less than half of Yemen's hospitals currently operational.
