The cholera epidemic in Yemen is the direct result of the blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia and its allies, including the United States and Britain, says an activist.

“This whole crisis has been created by the activities and the war that has been unleashed by the Saudis and its allies which includes the United States, Britain and the West, and they are systematically attacking civilians, they have destroyed all infrastructure,” Massoud Shadjareh, head of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, told Press TV in an interview on Friday.
