据日内瓦路透社报道： 世界卫生组织周五表示，也门霍乱病例可能在六个月内增至30万例，且死亡人数“极高”！
世卫组织也门代表Nevio Zagaria还通过电话向日内瓦记者透露：“除了已经发生的5万个案例之外，我们预计未来六个月可能出现的新发病例将达到20万到25万例。这将直接导致生活成本的不断增加。”
霍乱疫情始于2016年10月，并持续到12月。虽然病例数有所减少，但并没有得到充分控制，新病例随着雨季而出现，并因经济及卫生系统的崩溃而恶化。
自4月27日起，也门23个省份的18宗疫情共包括23425例霍乱病例，造成的死亡人数已达242人。
尽管四分之三的霍乱感染者没有症状，但是从粪便污染的水或食物中摄入霍乱弧菌引起的霍乱，能在数小时内造成腹泻脱水甚至死亡。
潜伏期短，意味着疫情可以迅速蔓延，特别是在没有安全饮用水和适当卫生设施的地方。但是，也门已经深受两年内战的摧残，有1880万人需要人道主义援助，其中许多人处于饥荒的边缘，不到45％的卫生机构正常运作。
也门目前需要350个霍乱治疗中心和2000个口服补液点，但由于中央银行危机，公共部门已经七个月没有支付薪金，目前我们只能完成目标的10-12％左右。
Yemen Cholera Cases Could Hit 300,000 Within Six Months -WHO
GENEVA (Reuters) - Yemen could have as many as 300,000 cases of cholera within six months and an "extremely high" number of deaths, the World Health Organization said on Friday.
"We need to expect something that could go up to 200,000-250,000 cases over the next six months, in addition to the 50,000 cases that have already occurred," Nevio Zagaria, WHO Yemen representative, told reporters in Geneva by phone.The cost in lives from this will be will be "extremely, extremely high," he said.
The epidemic began in October 2016 and grew until December. It dwindled but was never fully under control, Zagaria said, and new cases had arisen with the rainy season, worsened by the collapse of the economy and the health system.
The outbreak has caused 23,425 cases in 18 of Yemen's 23 governorates since April 27, and 242 people have died, he said.
That misleadingly suggested a case fatality rate of about 1 percent, with the true rate more likely 4-5 percent, he said, adding that the latest data had taken health experts by surprise.
"The speed of the resurgence of the cholera epidemic is unprecedented (for Yemen)."Caused by the ingestion of the Vibrio cholerae bacterium from fecal contaminated water or food, cholera's sudden onset of acute watery diarrhea and can kill within hours, although three-quarters of infected people show no symptoms.
The short incubation period means outbreaks can spread with explosive speed, especially in places without safe water and proper sanitation, according to the WHO.Yemen has been ruined by two years of civil war, with 18.8 million people needing humanitarian aid, many of them on the brink of famine, and less than 45 percent of health facilities fully functional.
Sufferers were overwhelming Yemen's remaining hospitals, but it would be better to treat them in specialized centers, 50 of which are already operating, along with 300 oral rehydration points. But such numbers were too few, and the WHO will release an emergency response plan in the next 48 hours, Zagaria said.
"We have a target of 350 cholera treatment centers and 2,000 oral rehydration points, and we are covering around 10-12 percent of this target at the moment."But the epidemic could not be addressed without ensuring that health workers were paid, he said, after seven months of no public sector salary payments because of a central bank crisis.
