    The rapidly spreading cholera outbreak in Yemen has exceeded 200,000 suspected cases, increasing at an average of 5,000 a day.
    We are now facing the worst cholera outbreak in the world.
    In just two months, cholera has spread to almost every governorate of this war-torn country.
    Already more than 1,300 people have died – one quarter of them children – and the death toll is expected to rise.
    Rapid response teams are going house-to-house to reach families with information about how to protect themselves by cleaning and storing drinking water.
    UNICEF and WHO are taking all measures to scale up prevention and treatment interventions.
    We call on authorities in Yemen to strengthen their internal efforts to stop the outbreak from spreading further.
    This deadly cholera outbreak is the direct consequence of two years of heavy conflict.
    Collapsing health, water and sanitation systems have cut off 14.5 million people from regular access to clean water and sanitation, increasing the ability of the disease to spread.
    Rising rates of malnutrition have weakened children’s health and made them more vulnerable to disease.
    An estimated 30,000 dedicated local health workers who play the largest role in ending this outbreak have not been paid their salaries for nearly 10 months.

    123 killed with dozens more injured in Pakistan oil tanker fire

    The BBC are reporting at least 123 people were killed when a lorry transporting oil burst into flames near the Pakistani city of Bahawalpur, local officials say.
    A crowd had gathered reportedly to collect fuel leaking from the overturned vehicle when it caught fire.
    Dozens are being treated in hospital.
    Unconfirmed reports suggest the tanker had been speeding when it overturned. People smoking at the scene may have sparked the fire, Pakistan's Geo TV reports, quoting eyewitnesses.
    The country's roads are notoriously dangerous, with poor vehicle maintenance and reckless driving contributing to the problem, correspondents say.

    Temperatures deadly to humans: Arizona Burn Center busiest in 18 years from people with contact burns from record heatwave

    The main burn center in Phoenix has seen its emergency department visits double during the heat wave that is scorching the Southwest U.S., including people burning their bare feet on the scalding pavement.
    Dr. Kevin Foster, director of the Arizona Burn Center, said this June is the worst the center has seen in 18 years.
    Most patients arrive with contact burns from touching hot car interiors or walking outside without shoes.
    Foster said one child received contact burns after crawling through a doggy door onto the hot pavement.
    "Getting up to 120 really makes a difference," Foster said.
    The burns are among several hazards resulting from a heat wave that has plagued Arizona, Nevada and California, including deaths, increased wildfire risks and a water shortage in one community.
    The heat wave brought a high of 119 degrees (48 degrees Celsius) in Phoenix on Tuesday.
    Las Vegas topped out at 117, and California has been broiling in triple-digit temps.
    People in Arizona are used to triple-digit temperatures in the summer, but an extreme heat wave gripping the Southwest this week had temperatures rising to 120 degrees.
    At that extreme temperature, strange things begin to happen.
    Arizona residents have been posting photos on social media of objects that they say have melted due to the extreme heat.
    It's important to note that none of these photos have been independently verified.
    The melted mailbox photo prompted KSAZ to ask an expert if it was possible for extreme heat to do that kind of damage.
    The engineering expert said that while it was unlikely that the plastic post completely melted, the heat could have weakened it, causing it to fall over, KSAZ reported.
    As for the photos of melting street signs, KPNX verified via a transportation official that the damage to the sign was age-related, not specifically heat-related.
    And the photo of the melted trash bin?
    That was posted on Reddit in 2016, and many doubted its veracity then.
    One thing is for certain: The heat in Arizona is no joke.
    Flights were grounded temporarily this week at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix due to the extreme temperatures.
    Phoenix emergency rooms have seen an increase in burn cases, most contact burns from bare skin touching pavement or a hot car's interior, azcentral reported.
    Pet owners are urged to take precautions as an increase in heat-related emergencies has been reported at Arizona animal hospitals.

    Incredible temperature of 52 C (126 F) as Chihuahua heatwave in Mexico leaves thousands of hectares on fire

    Weekend forecasts for the state of Chihuahua are for temperatures even higher than those that brought a weather alert last week, when authorities warned of temperatures approaching 50 C. Temperatures are forecast to reach 52 C this weekend in a heat wave that hs helped fuel three large forest fires.
    Last week's weather warning applied to 11 municipalities but has now been extended to include a total of 30, where temperatures have consistently risen above 40 C.
    The municipality of Moris in the Sierra Tarahumara has already reported temperatures above 50, a situation not reported there for years, said the state Civil Protection chief.
    As a result, Virgilio Cepeda Cisneros has requested the federal government declare a natural disaster emergency.
    With from the national disaster relief fund Fonden made available by such a declaration, Cepeda's office will be able to provide bottled water, food and personal hygiene products, among other supplies.
    In the municipality of Ciudad Juarez, authorities have been distributing drinking water in tanker trucks to the neighborhoods that require it, although the state Commission for Protection Against Health Risks warned it was not fit for human consumption.
    Mayor Armando Cabada Alvidrez rejected the warning by drinking water from one of the trucks himself to prove it was drinkable.
    In three other municipalities, three forest fires have been blazing for nearly 15 days.
    The National Forest Commission (Conafor) said yesterday the fires in the municipalities of Madera, Gomez Farias and Guerrero were the largest in the state.
    At least 10 were burning yesterday. "Up to June 16, there have been 618 fires that have affected an area of 43,876 hectares," said Conafor in a statement.
    The agency dispatched an additional 10 brigades to reinforce efforts to fight the fires, which state authorities confirmed continue to burn but "the brigades have under control."
    The number of new fires dropped significantly during the last week after sporadic rain delivered some moisture to wooded areas, enough to impede the propagation of wildfires.
    "Still, high temperatures and human neglect make small fires turn dangerous," said a government spokesman.
