New disease breaks out in Dhalea

DHALEA - Medical sources on Tuesday reported the outbreak of a strange disease among thousands of citizens in al-Dhalea province, southern-central Yemen.

According to the sources, the strange disease causes a skin rash in the infected, named by the citizens as "al-Majar" in the various directorates of Dhalea.

"It is shown that the disease causes a granulated rash and is transmitted by touching hands between citizens," one of the medical sources said.

The sources explained that many doctors were unable to diagnose the disease, while some drugs needed to reduce the skin rash in the patients were not available.

 The medical sources suggested that the disease was caused by the use of new weapons by the Saudi-led coalition in its war on Yemen, particularly in Dhalea Front during its military confrontation with the army and Popular Committees
