Cholera is now reported in Yemen with 200 cases in the capital Sanaa.
Cholera only occurs in such large numbers in situations where the population is already in a depleted nutritional state. The only effective management is better nutrition and clean water. The vaccine is relatively ineffective.
That these cases occur in the capital of the country means Yemen is continuing on its downward spiral.
Reporting of diseases in probably not accurate in outlying areas at this point.
The fact remains in play that there is little reason for the world to be concerned about Yemen – no oil, minimal other resources, and no land that anyone wants.
Is the end in view?
