Taiz - health authorities in Taiz, Yemen, have announced that the cholera death toll has risen to 5 cases, while the number of suspected cases has exceeded 1,700 since the beginning of this year.
Taysir Al-Sam’ae, media officer at the Ministry of Health office in the governorate, confirmed that 706 cases have been laboratory-confirmed so far. Officials have warned of the continued spread of the disease due to deteriorating health conditions in the country.
Al-Sam’ae stated that the widespread outbreak of diseases in Taiz is caused by a lack of funding in the healthcare sector, hindering efforts to control cholera, dengue fever, and measles.
