Yemen faces 18 deaths, dengue cases in 2026
A Yemeni official reported that dengue fever has claimed the lives of 18 people and infected more than 4,000 in southern and eastern Yemen since the beginning of the year, amid ongoing deterioration of the healthcare sector after 12 years of war. The governorates of Aden and Hadramout recorded the highest number of cases and deaths, accounting for 67% of the total fatalities. The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and is characterized by symptoms such as fever, headache, and joint pain, which can rarely lead to death. Additionally, Brazil has temporarily suspended the use of the dengue vaccine following reports of deaths suspected to be linked to the vaccine.
