    A major epidemic of cholera is feared in Yemen, according to charity Save the Children.
    Almost 250 people have died of the disease this month alone, with hundreds of suspected cases being reported every day, it says.
    The World Health Organization said the water-borne illness is spreading at an alarming rate in the war-torn country.
    Sanaa has been the worst affected area, with a state of emergency declared in the rebel-held capital last week.
    Save the Children fears thousands of people could die of the easily treatable disease, and said more than two million malnourished children are particularly at risk.
