Yemeni doctor Mohammed Abdul-Mughni described the rising number of cholera cases he was treating as “disastrous.” Two weeks later, he also died of the disease. Yemen has been at war since 2015. The conflict has led to food shortages and put 10 million people at risk of famine. Then cholera struck. The United Nations says it has recorded 110,000 probable cholera cases and 200 deaths in three months. UN officials say the disease is spreading like “wild-fire.” Cholera usually spreads in unclean water and contaminated food. One sign of infection is severe diarrhea. Abdul-Mughni had been working in a diarrhea treatment center at a hospital in Sanaa. About 120 to 150 severe cases arrive there every day. “We are taking in patients around the clock, constantly...Cholera is spreading widely now,” said Ismail Mansoury.
