WorldPTIJun, 21 2017 13:37:36 IST

And the devastation wrought by the conflict there made coping with the outbreak that much more difficult, WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told reporters in Geneva.

"The number of suspected cholera cases is rising", said Jasarevic.

"We are talking close to 2,000 suspected cases per day", he warned, which meant that Yemen was now suffering the world's largest cholera outbreak.

Since WHO began collecting data on the outbreak on 27 April, it has registered more than 01,70,000 suspected cholera cases across 20 of Yemen's 21 governorates, Jasarevic said.
