With about 70,000 cholera cases reported with nearly 600 fatalities in Yemen, the United Nations Children‘s Fund (UNICEF) today warned that an already fire situation for children is turning into a disaster.
“Cholera doesn‘t need a permit to cross a checkpoint or a border, nor does it differentiate between areas of political control,” said UNICEF Regional Director, Geert Cappelaere, following his visit to the war-torn country.
