Viral Fevers Devastates Aden The Capital
SMA NEWS – ADEN THE CAPITAL
The capital, Aden, is experiencing a tragic situation with increasing cases of viral fevers such as malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya fever, a fever that causes severe joint and muscle pain caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. The cause is climatic conditions such as summer heat and high humidity, which provide a favorable environment for mosquito breeding, as mosquitoes are the primary carriers of viruses. Furthermore, negative environmental practices such as the accumulation of stagnant water and waste contribute to an increase in mosquito breeding sites, leading to the spread of these diseases and epidemics in what is known as the “mosquito season,” resulting in an increase in cases of viral fevers transmitted by mosquitoes.
This spread comes amid deteriorating health services and rising medicine prices, resulting in deaths, as happened in previous seasons that witnessed deadly waves of fevers. However, the current season has surpassed previous ones.
