Yemen's cholera outbreak
Cases of cholera in Yemen have increased dramatically in just a few months
Tamer Kirolos, Save the Children's Yemen country director, tells Today the charity's centres have seen the number of suspected cases in cholera almost triple in the last three months. He visited Hudaydah last week, and says that increased fighting due to the civil war has led to water infrastructure being damaged.
