GENEVA Nike Air Vapormax Grey , Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Thanks to unparalleled efforts of local health workers, the spread of diarrhea and cholera in war-torn Yemen has been effectively curbed, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) declared on Monday, but also warned as long as the fighting rages on Nike Air Vapormax Red , more deaths from infections are expected.


UNICEF accredited the slowdown to the "heroic daily fight" of local workers, with international support, against acute watery diarrhea and cholera, especially when the local health Nike Air Vapormax Blue , water and sanitation personnel had not received salaries in over ten months.


The epidemic of diarrhea and cholera in Yemen, a country mired in years of dragging conflicts, still remains the worst in the world, with over 550 Nike Air Vapormax Black ,000 suspected cases and more than 2,000 associated deaths recorded since April, and more than half of the suspected cases being children, according to UNICEF.


A nationwide cholera awareness campaign is currently underway Nike Air Vapormax Off White , mobilizing over 40,000 volunteers going house-to-house and reaching over 2.7 million families so far, or nearly 80 percent of households in Yemen.


The efforts are paying off. Nearly 12.5 million people across the country have received information on water disinfection, handwashing Nike Air Vapormax White , sanitation and food safety, and 250,000 children and adults suffering from diarrhea have been provided with oral rehydration salts and referred for treatment, according to UNICEF.


Despite these recent gains Nike Air Vapormax 2018 , the fight against cholera is far from over.


Continued violence has destroyed the bulk of the country's water and sanitation systems and more than half of Yemen's health facilities are out of service. About 15 million people are cut from safe water and access to basic healthcare.


Meanwhile, the country remains on the brink of famine, with an estimated 385,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit , putting them at heightened risk of acute watery diarrhea and cholera, said the UN agency.


Without an end to the fighting, more children will die, the UNICEF warned Nike Air Vapormax , calling on all parties in the conflict to find a peaceful political solution to the violence in Yemen.

TOKYO， Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Members of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) began talks on Monday on a variety of issues including the possibility of creating a substantial regional free trade economic zone， in the first such talks since the United States ditched the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) under President Donald Trump.


The latest meeting held in Japan's port city of Kobe， on the north shore of Osaka Bay， brought together 16 Asia-Pacific nations， comprising the 10 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members， as well as Australia， China， India， Japan， New Zealand and South Korea， with agreements already made on economic and technological cooperation.


With the United States looking to direct itself toward securing more bilateral rather than multilateral or free trade deals， the senior RCEP officials are keen to come to a general consensus on issues of tariffs in the new economic zone， as well as how major economies can support developing ones.


Other issues tabled for discussion between the senior officials in talks here through Friday， include the "13 Fields，" which comprise universal rules on investment and e-commerce， as well as the elimination or significant reduction of certain trade tariffs.


Iman Pambagyo， director general of international trade negotiations at Indonesia's Trade Ministry， in his role as chair of the meeting in Kobe， said that the current talks are key to establishing free trade deals in the region and boosting broader global growth.


If RCEP's fundamental premise comes to fruition， economists believe that the new economic zone could account for about 30 percent of the world's gross domestic product， even without the support of the United States.


RCEP member countries， as pointed out by proponents of the initiative， collectively， have a significant economic clout， with member countries accounting for almost 20 percent of U.S. goods imports in 2016.


While there remains some issues regarding the scope of the tariffs to be reduced or eliminated between some member countries， the talks are garnering a great deal of attention since the U.S. abruptly ditched the TPP， with major economies in this region keen to secure fair and balanced， high-level trade liberalization that benefits all member nations.


"Like the TPP， Japan is aiming for high quality agreements in the RCEP talks，" Economy， Trade and Industry Minister Hiroshige Seko said on Monday， with regard to tariffs and arriving at agreeable solutions on a number of rules including， for example， on intellectual property protection.


The first round of RCEP negotiations took place in 2013， yet while the negotiations have hit some stumbling blocks in the past， the 16 nations' senior officials， this time around， have resolved to conclude the talks as soon as possible.
