Yemen: Death Toll from Cholera Outbreak Rises to 187
----------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, the death toll from a cholera outbreak has risen to 187, as
the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign has devastated the country's
health, water, sewage and sanitation systems. There are more than 11,000
reported cases of cholera in Yemen, and the International Committee for
the Red Cross warns the disease is spreading like wildfire.
