I wonder if it has registered on the radar of many people.  Yemen is a desperately poor country on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula.  It's beyond belief that 90% of the country has been ravaged by the cholera epidemic.  How is it possible in this day and age when something like this can sweep across an entire country like a Biblical plague from the dark ages?  But that's exactly what's happening in Yemen right now.  People are dying like flies.  Those working on behalf of the World Health Organization and the International Red Cross are saying that they are absolutely horrified by the scale of the pandemic.  The unending civil war in the last couple of years has all but decimated the physical infrastructure in the country.  The whole of Yemen resembles like a gigantic, broken down sewer.  Every water body has been fatally contaminated.  Hundreds of sick people are lying outside a few dilapidated hospitals, on this streets because of massive overcrowding.  When I was watching the reports on Al Jazeera, I had to avert my gaze from the Television.  It was unbearable.
