More Malaria in Aden [Archives:2002/21/Local News]

The number of people infected of malaria in Aden have increased during the first five months of this year to reach 2,756, as a result of approaching the summer season.
This has resulted in the high increase of malaria parasites in the city, Dr. Hana al-Saqqaf and Dr. Anwar Abdulkareem, the General Manager of Rolling out Malaria told the Yemen Times.
Aden is the only city where malaria has spread very rapidly. It has been also reported that malaria is detected in Lahj and Abyan, Anwar said.
Last April hospitals swarmed with people infected of malaria, totaling 1,084 infected cases.
Malaria parasites can multiply in the open and still waters.
