Al Sabeen Hospital

SANA’A, YEMEN — In Yemen’s Al Sabeen Hospital dozens of cholera patients lie motionless in their beds awaiting treatment for a disease eradicated in most of the world but making an aggressive resurgence in war-torn Yemen. Al Sabeen doctor Mohammed Abdul-Mughni, who had been working in a temporary diarrhea treatment center in the hospital, would usually be making the rounds at the hospital but he succumbed to cholera himself on March 28 after being infected while treating patients in the makeshift ward.

SANA’A, YEMEN — When his wife’s vomiting and diarrhea simply wouldn’t stop, 40-year-old Ali Sherwaid, an English teacher, did a quick accounting in his head, calibrating the catastrophe that had befallen him. With cholera ravaging his wife, 28 years-old and nine-months pregnant with the couple’s first child, Sherwaid needed to get her medical treatment.
