CAIRO — The number of people dying with covid-19 symptoms has dramatically spiked in war-riven Yemen, triggering fears that coronavirus infections are considerably higher than official figures, the Save the Children charity said Thursday.

 At least 385 people have died over the past week with coronavirus-like symptoms in the southern port city of Aden, the group said, citing Yemeni officials.
