The second wave of cholera outbreak that has been going on for over two months in Yemen, is spiraling fast and claiming more lives. But medical assistance and equipment is still way below expectations, leaving many people to face imminent death. The recent rise in the number of infected people prompted the UN staff to appeal for more international help as well as an end to the Saudi blockade of the Arab country. From the Yemeni capital Sana’a Press TV’s Mohammad al-Attab has the latest.
