Yemen cholera outbreak kills 25 people in a week - WHO
SANAA -- A cholera outbreak in Yemen killed 25 people this week, the World Health Organization said, as two years of war continues to wreak havoc on the impoverished country's health and sanitation system.
The deaths from the diarrhoeal disease which is carried in food and water tainted by human faeces are among 1,360 cases that the United Nations agency reported since April 27.
Some severe cases can kill within hours unless treated with intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
