\n\t\t\tYemen’s army spokesman\u00a0Brigadier General\u00a0Sharaf\u00a0Luqman\u00a0said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia is the main culprit for the current cholera epidemic among\u00a0Yemen’s vulnerable population as Saudi fighter jets continue to spread biological\u00a0agents\u00a0in the air, which subsequently contaminate\u00a0water\u00a0supply systems.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLuqman further described Yemen\u2019s cholera outbreak as a \u201cbio-terrorism plot\u201d hatched by the United States, Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime of Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHe stressed that the outbreak of highly\u00a0contagious diseases, especially cholera, is directly related to the Saudi\u00a0regime\u2019s aerial bombardment campaign.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe senior Yemeni military official went on to say that Saudi warplanes have on occasions released poisonous gases, which mix with the surrounding air, come down in the form of rain and cause groundwater pollution at last.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLuqman emphasized that children began to show symptoms of cholera ten days after Saudi jets bombarded an area in Yemen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSaudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMore than 12,000 people have been killed since the onset of the campaign more than two and a half years ago. Much of the Arabian Peninsula country’s infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Saudi-led war has also triggered a deadly cholera epidemic across Yemen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAccording to the World Health Organization\u2019s\u00a0latest count, the cholera outbreak has killed 2,167 people since the end of April and is suspected to have infected 841,906.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMeanwhile, the United Nations has described the current level of hunger in Yemen as \u201cunprecedented,\u201d emphasizing that 17\u00a0million people are now food insecure in the country.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt added that 6.8 million, meaning almost one in four people, do not have enough food and rely entirely on external assistance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tA recent survey showed that\u00a0almost one third of families have gaps in their diets, and hardly ever consume foods like pulses, vegetables, fruit, dairy products or meat.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMore than\u00a03 million pregnant and nursing women and children under 5 need support to prevent or cure malnutrition.<\/p>\n
