Sana’a/Aden – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is bolstering its efforts to address the rapidly escalating Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) and cholera outbreak nationwide, which has already seen over 30,000 suspected cases since the beginning of the year.
From 2016 to 2022, Yemen faced the largest ever reported cholera outbreak in recent history, with over 2.5 million suspected cases and 4,000 deaths amid its ongoing conflict.
“With support from humanitarian partners and our donors, we are working tirelessly to provide critical health and sanitation services to the most vulnerable populations,” declared IOM’s Acting Chief of Mission in Yemen, Matt Huber. “Together, we are striving to alleviate the suffering of those affected by cholera, particularly in remote and underserved areas, mitigate the impact of this crisis, and save lives amidst these challenging circumstances.”
