At the end of June, 2017, UNICEF and WHO released a statement declaring that Yemen is “facing the worst cholera outbreak in the world”.¹ The statement points out that the outbreak is caused by the civil war that began in 2015, but it does not suggest that one party is more responsible than another, simply noting that “two years of heavy conflict” have resulted in “collapsing health, water and sanitation systems”. Nor does it point to one side being more affected by the outbreak, stating that “cholera has spread to almost every governorate”.

也门霍乱暴发的政治决定因素

2017年6月底，联合国儿童基金会和世卫组织发表声明，宣布也门“正面临着世界上最严重的霍乱疫情”。¹该声明指出，疫情是由2015年开始的内战引起的，但并不表明一方对另一方负有更大的责任，只是指出“两年的激烈冲突”导致“健康崩溃，水和卫生系统”。它也没有指出一方更容易受到疫情的影响，并指出“霍乱已蔓延到几乎每个省”。
