ADEN, Yemen, June 16 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday ramped up a large-scale dengue fever control campaign in Yemen's southern Aden and Lahj provinces, where a surge in infections since the start of 2025 has added pressure to an already severe humanitarian crisis.
More than 3,900 dengue cases and 14 deaths have been reported in the two provinces as of April, the WHO said in a statement via its Yemen office on Sunday. Both areas are under the control of the internationally recognized government.
