Aden / Yemen Press Agency //


Media sources revealed an outbreak of a strange disease among children in the city of Aden, southern Yemen, which is under the control of the coalition militia.


The sources confirmed that the strange disease affects children, making them unable to eat and move, accompanied by severe coughing, shortness of breath and high fever.


The sources pointed out that the disease is similar to the new measles, which is internal and causes pimples in the throat and prevents children from eating, according to “Crater Sky.”

Various diseases and epidemics spread among children and people of Aden due to the collapse of health services and water pollution, and the flooding of streets and residential neighborhoods with sewage water.

A new epidemic is sweeping Aden, and most of the victims are children

March 29 2022

An epidemic spread suddenly and widely among the population in Aden (southern Yemen), medical sources said that most of the victims were children, amid growing fears among the parents.

According to medical sources, during the past few days, many hospitals in Aden received dozens of cases with fevers and symptoms similar to the contagious measles disease.

The sources confirmed that most of the cases were diagnosed and it was found that they had measles, and the so-called “cutaneous” disease, the latter of which affects the patient with a rash and pills covering all parts of the body, which causes the patient to have a high temperature and extreme fatigue.

While other sources reported that many hospitals and medical clinics in the Sirah district received cases of illness with the same symptoms, "fever, rashes and ulcers", and they were diagnosed with measles, noting that most of the infected were children.

Fears have increased among the people about the outbreak of the epidemic, in light of the collapse of the health sector in the country as a result of the war, which has entered its eighth year in a row, in addition to the great corruption that has permeated various parts of the government, including the health sector.

In a statement, UNICEF said around 1,400 children in seven Yemeni provinces, including the southern Aden province "were suspected of having measles" in the period between January and July.

The statement said UNICEF and their partners helped the Yemeni health authorities "to target children ages 0-10 for polio vaccination and 6-month to 10-year-olds with measles vaccines.”

"Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that is prevalent in children. Measles causes painful skin rashes, sore eyes, fever, stiff muscles, and severe coughing for almost everyone who contracts the virus," UNICEF explained.

Yemen has been mired by chaos and violence since September 2014 when Houthi rebels captured much of the country, including the capital, Sanaa. A military coalition led by Saudi Arabia entered the war in early 2015 to restore the government to power.

The eight-year conflict has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions risking starvation...
