In Yemen, more than 2,000 people have died from a massive cholera outbreak as the ongoing U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign has devastated Yemen’s health, water and sanitation systems. On Tuesday, the World Health Organization said, “We have never seen something so explosive in Yemen.” This is Dr. Ismail al-Mansoury.
