Yemen faces surge in dengue cases in 2026
Yemen has experienced a rising spread of dengue fever during the initial months of 2026, with 4,819 cases and 18 deaths reported in government-controlled areas, especially in the provinces of Aden and Hadramout. This increase reflects a rise compared to 2025, when the World Health Organization recorded 3,900 cases and 14 deaths during the same period. This surge occurs amid health and environmental challenges, including weak healthcare infrastructure, shortages of medical personnel, and the increasing proliferation of mosquito vectors due to rising temperatures.
