In January 2025, Yemen reported 6110 new cholera cases and four associated deaths, said a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday.

“This represents a 42% decline in cases and a 75% decrease in deaths compared to December 2024. Despite the overall downward trend, over 1000 cases continue to be reported each week,” the report added.

The conflict that started between the Houthis and the government forces in 2015 has displaced thousands of people in Yemen. The ongoing conflict and political instability in Yemen negatively affect people in all facets of life, including in the health sector due to the lack of medical resources and medicines.
