The WHO estimates that the war in Yemen has left almost 960 dead since August while cholera cases multiply.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly 960 people have been killed and approximately 4,200 others injured during the latest two months of armed conflict in Yemen. The sharp rise in casualties coincides with a significant escalation in hostilities that began last month between the Yemeni government and its Saudi allies.

Alongside the mounting toll from the armed conflict, health concerns in the region have intensified as cholera cases multiply rapidly. The convergence of escalating warfare and the spread of disease highlights a worsening humanitarian crisis in the country.
