Massive Cholera outbreak in Yemen

The number of suspected cholera cases in Yemen has surpassed 100,000 people, the World Health Organization said Thursday, marking an outbreak that the United Nations has dubbed “unprecedented” in scale.

Of the 101,820 reported cases, the WHO said there have been a total of 789 deaths associated with the disease in 19 Yemeni provinces since April 27. It’s an epidemic that Oxfam International estimated “is killing one person nearly every hour.”

Apparently a bunch of countries have pledged 1.1 billion in aide and it still hasn't reached the Yemenis yet

That's disheartening. The war torn areas have opened up the sewage and such only make the outbreak worse. It's a shame they can't get along and fix this problem.
