Surge in cholera outbreak kills 34 in Yemen - WHO

A resurgence of a cholera outbreak in war-torn Yemen is believed to have killed 34 people in the past two weeks.
The World Health Organisation says 2,022 suspected cases of cholera and acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) were reported between 27 April and 7 May.
Some 26,000 people have now been affected since October by the outbreak, which subsided over the winter.
The country's health system and civilian infrastructure are collapsing after two years of conflict.
The WHO says fewer than 45% of health facilities are fully functioning, with almost 300 damaged or destroyed in fighting between forces loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi - who is backed by a Saudi-led multinational coalition - and those allied to the Houthi rebel movement.
More than eight million people also lack access to drinking water and sanitation.BBC
