Suggested page move

The WHO server is currently down but it seems this outbreak officially started in October 2016, even though the great majority of deaths have been since 27 April 2017. Should we therefore move it to 2016–17 Yemen cholera outbreak? Espresso Addict (talk) 05:20, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think such a move would make sense, yes. Vanamonde (talk) 10:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RfC at Talk:2017

The entry about WHO's estimate of infection cases is proposed at Talk:2017#RfC: Events in May and June 2017, where I invite you to comment. --George Ho (talk) 15:20, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to talk

Moving this to talk for various reasons. WP:MEDRS (lay sources where data doesn't always jive), speculation, or just outdated and not adding anything to the article. Or replaced by higher quality sources already SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:20, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After a decline to fewer than 1,000 cases per month in the first half of 2018, WHO reported an increase beginning in September with 10,000 suspected cases per week.^[1] The WHO warned that a third wave of cholera might be underway that was related to Saudi air strikes in Houthi-controlled areas in the western region around the port city of Hodeidah.^[2] Eight governates were reporting an increase in suspected cases.^[3]

"Societal Factors" Replaced with "Global Responses", and info added in

Hello! My education group and I will be dismantling the societal factors subheading, and adding info in "Global Responses" instead. We feel this subheading title is more targeted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amyh0119 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Societal factors

On 23 June 2017, Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, authorized a donation in excess of $66 million for cholera relief in Yemen, while continuing its airstrikes and military operations in Yemen.

An aid conference was held in Geneva in April 2017 that raised half of the US$2.1 billion that the UN estimated was needed.

Many Yemeni people could not afford transportation to treatment centers.

Summary of recent edits, and recommendations for future editors

Hi there,

Over the last two months, my Wiki Education group Erinartna (talk), Hanak24 (talk), Amyh0119 (talk) edited this article. We are posting here to summarize what we achieved in our project, to provide recommendations for future editors, and lastly, to thank the kind editors Keith D (talk) and Lightlowemon (talk) for their contributions and corrections.

In particular, our group focused on adding the following sections:

The impact of El Nino on the cholera outbreak in Yemen
Wastewater management systems in Yemen
The impact of COVID-19 on the cholera outbreak in Yemen

For future editors, we think it would be great if the article continued to receive updates as new data emerges, particularly for the statistics section and the impact of COVID-19, for which there is currently (as of Nov 2020) limited data. We hope that our contributions have been helpful!

Sincerely, Amy, Erin, & Hana :) Erinartna (talk) 01:14, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
