The United Nations recorded about 800 deaths and more than two hundred thousand cases of cholera in Yemen during the past year.

The World Health Report documented more than 260,000 cases of cholera and 879 deaths, from the beginning of January last year until the end of the year.

The World Health Organization explained that its report included areas under government control and areas under the influence of the Houthis

It is noteworthy that the World Health Organization reported about a month ago that Yemen recorded the highest rate of cholera infection in the world last year

This comes as the United Nations Population Fund said that natural disasters resulting from climate change and the repercussions of conflict led to the displacement of more than half a million people from their original areas during the past year throughout the country.

Thousands of people in Hajjah Governorate fled their homes and displaced people’s tents as a result of the heavy rains that struck the region in the middle of last year, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of homes and tents.

The United Nations also documented the displacement of more than 130 individuals in just one week in Yemen.

In its weekly report, the International Organization for Migration monitored the displacement of twenty-three Yemeni families, representing one hundred and thirty-eight individuals, during the period from nineteen to twenty-five of this January

The United Nations organization explained that the displacement cases took place from Hodeidah, Taiz, and Sanaa, and settled in Ma’rib, Hodeidah, and Lahj.

Earlier, the United Nations warned that the humanitarian crisis is worsening in Yemen, as at least 19.5 million people will need humanitarian aid this year, expressing its concern, especially for children who suffer from malnutrition.

Joyce Msuya, Deputy Head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told the UN Security Council that “the Yemeni people are still facing a serious crisis at the humanitarian and civilian protection levels.”

She explained that according to estimates of the humanitarian appeal for 2025, which will be published “soon,” “the crisis is worsening.”

The UN official pointed out that “at least 19.5 million people in Yemen will need humanitarian aid and protection this year, an increase of 1.3 million people over the year 2024.”

Msuya confirmed that “about half” of the country’s population, meaning more than 17 million Yemenis, “cannot meet their basic food needs,” expressing her concern about “the most marginalized among them, such as women, girls, and the 4.8 million displaced people”< /p>
