GENEVA, July 21 (Reuters) - Yemen's cholera outbreak is far from being controlled and may be further exacerbated by the rainy season, even if the rate of new cases appears to be slowing in some hotspots, the World Health Organisation said on Friday.


Oxfam projected the number could rise to more than 600,000 cases, "the largest ever recorded in any country in a single year since records began", exceeding Haiti in 2011.

Nigel Timmins, the charity's humanitarian director who has just returned from the country, said: "Cholera has spread unchecked in a country already on its knees after two years of war and which is teetering on the brink of famine. For many people, weakened by war and hunger, cholera is the knockout blow."

The WHO reported 368,207 suspected cases and 1,828 deaths in the Arabian Peninsula country since late April.

"Every day we have 5,000 more Yemenis falling sick with symptoms of acute watery diarrhoea or cholera," WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told a news briefing in Geneva.

"Yemen's cholera outbreak is far from being controlled, the rainy season has just started and may increase the paths of transmission. Sustained efforts are required to stop the spread of this disease," she said.

Millions are malnourished in Yemen where famine looms, the United Nations says.

A Saudi Arabia-led coalition intervened in Yemen's civil war in 2015, backing government forces fighting Iran-allied Houthi rebels and fighting limits access for aid workers.

Surveillance data "confirms a slight decline in suspected cases over the past two weeks" in some of the most affected governorates - Amanat Al Asimah, Amran and Sana'a, Chaib said.

But great caution was called for as there is a backlog in reporting and data is still being analysed, she said.

Oxfam, which is based in Britain, said Yemen's rainy season from July to September would increase the risk of the disease spreading further through water contaminated with faeces.

"It is feared that the total number of people infected could eventually rise to over 600,000, making it one of the largest outbreaks since records began in 1949," Oxfam said.

The WHO did not provide its latest planning figure.

"The fighting is hugely exacerbating the ability to stop this epidemic of cholera. The kind of disintegration of the health system in Yemen as a result of the conflict at a time of cholera is an absolutely lethal combination," U.N.

human rights spokesman Rupert Colville told Friday's briefing. (Reporting and writing by Stephanie Nebehay; Additional reporting by Tom Miles; Editing by Alison Williams)

BERLIN, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Germany plans to place two of its last nuclear power plants Isar 2 and Neckarwestheim as reserves until April 15, 2023, and will decide whether to extend their lives this year, depending on the nuclear power situation in France, the economy ministry said.


Germany had planned to complete a phase-out of nuclear power by the end of this year but a collapse in energy supplies from Russia due to the war in Ukraine has prompted the government to keep two plants on standby until April.

"The operators will now make all the preparations needed for the southern German nuclear power plants to produce electricity in winter and beyond the end of the year, naturally in compliance with safety regulations," said Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

Operators E.ON and EnBW welcomed the agreement on the possible temporary prolonged operation of their plants.

The nuclear power supply situation in France would be a big factor in the final decision as to whether to extend the lifespans of the plants, he said.

"Today, I have to say that the data from France suggests that we will then call up and use the reserve," Habeck said.
