Concerns are growing over a renewed cholera outbreak in Yemen, after years of conflict has left the country's healthcare system struggling to cope.

Thousands of suspected cases have already been reported this year, with medical teams warning that worsening conditions could fuel the spread of the disease.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 5,000 suspected cases of cholera and acute watery diarrhoea have been recorded since the start of 2026, along with seven deaths.

Most infections have been reported since late April in areas controlled by Yemen's internationally recognised government, including Taiz province.
