The organization indicated on its account on the "X" platform, that "more than 3,900 cases of dengue fever were reported in the governorates of Aden and Lahj, during the period between January and April 2025."

The organization added that among these cases, 14 deaths related to the disease were recorded, in the same period, with the widespread outbreak of viral dengue fever.
