Newsyemen published a warning three months ago, citing medical sources of the emergence of a new dengue-like epidemic that spread in Taiz hospitals, however, this warning was not taken by the competent authorities in Taiz, despite its widespread on social networking sites.

Medical sources said  that a viral fever began to appear gradually and doctors find it difficult to diagnose and deal with it because the symptoms are similar to dengue and malaria.

Recently, the authorities in Taiz warned of the viral fever epidemic sweeping Taiz, where the health office announced yesterday, a terrible outbreak of this fever amid the near collapse of the health sector in Taiz and the lack of potential to cope with this disease.

The governor of Taiz announced the allocation of 50 million riyals to face dengue fever and spraying to combat mosquitoes, but the government medical facilities need great financial resources to cope with the epidemic of viral fever, which has so far recorded more than 2500 cases reached Taiz hospitals without monitoring cases outside the city and Taiz countryside.

The health office lacks the material and medical capabilities required to carry out its work, while the local authority manipulates the revenues of the governorate
