over the past three years, is still reeling from one of the world’s worst outbreaks of the killer disease, scientists warned on Thursday.

Since 2016, roughly a year after the attack began, one million suspected cases of cholera have been reported in Yemen while more than 2,000 people have been killed by it.

"We expect to see a surge of cases during the rainy season," Anton Camacho, lead author of a study on the epidemic published in The Lancet Global Health journal, told Rooters.

"If something is going to happen it will happen now so everyone should be aware and respond quickly. The risk is high," he added.

The rainy season is expected to begin from mid-April and last until the end of August.

The first four weeks of last year’s rainy season saw the daily number of cholera cases increase 100-fold, accelerating the spread of the disease across the poverty-stricken country.
