That has made it unaffordable for poor families&#8211;already hit by the collapse of the economy \u2014to buy food.<\/h4>\n<h4>Clean water supplies in towns and cities have been cut due to fuel shortages.<\/h4>\n<h4>Yemen is also suffering from diphtheria epidemic, with aid groups warning that the spread of the disease is inevitable in Yemen due to low vaccination rates, lack of access to medical care and so many people moving around and coming in contact with those infected.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-15970\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/12\/images_2017_12_23_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"842\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/12\/images_2017_12_23_07.jpg 650w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/12\/images_2017_12_23_07-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says the number of suspected cholera cases in war-torn Yemen has hit one million amid the ongoing Saudi military campaign against the impoverished nation. \u00a0 The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says the number of suspected cholera cases in war-torn Yemen has hit one million &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":15969,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_108372464460192_245495985553329":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[459,38,338,68],"class_list":["post-5226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-islam","tag-international","tag-saudi-arabia","tag-war","tag-yemen"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
