Yemen's Cholera Death Toll Surpasses 2,000
------------------------------------------

In Yemen, more than 2,000 people have died from a massive cholera
outbreak as the ongoing U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign has
devastated Yemen's health, water and sanitation systems. On Tuesday, the
World Health Organization said, "We have never seen something so
explosive in Yemen." This is Dr. Ismail al-Mansoury.

Dr. Ismail al-Mansoury: "The influx of patients to the hospital is huge.
The amount of suspected cases has reached 200,000, with more than 2,000
deaths."
