Mass Media is waking up but its summer time and the people want to plan their vacation tour (Hadj) world wide.

Cholera?

BBC The horrors of Yemen's spiralling cholera crisis

Children dying in hospital hallways. Four sick people crammed into one bed. Patients connected to intravenous drips while sitting in their cars because the hospital is over capacity.
Welcome to the Yemeni healthcare system in 2017.
The bizarre and haunting scenes I have witnessed recently in the capital, Sanaa, are the consequences of a health catastrophe spiralling out of control.
In a country where vital infrastructure is devastated by a brutal and ongoing war, the toll of this cholera outbreak grows by the thousands every day.

This recent report [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/07/world/middleeast/yemen-cholera-outbreak-war.html] has 269 608 cases and 1 614 deaths. 1 death for every 167 cases. That seems high for diseases but not high enough to reset population numbers.

It also talks of it spreading to the Horn of Africa (Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya), with 96 000 cases since 2014.
