Yemen said the number of children diagnosed with polio had risen to 179 as officials prepared to launch a nationwide immunization campaign.

Yemeni Health Minister Mohammed Yahya Nuaymi told reporters the campaign would inoculate more than 4.6 million children younger than 5. Low immunization rates have helped the virus spread, according to the World Health Organization.
