300 000 Threatened by Cholera in Zimbabwe – Oxfam

Oxfam has warned that Zimbabwe's cholera epidemic is posing a "grave danger" to 300 000 people already weakened by food shortages.

Peter Mutoredzanwa, country director for Oxfam in Zimbabwe, points out that: "Unless the international community steps up to provide money for food and medical assistance immediately, the already dire situation will get much worse."

Mutoredzanwa says that more than five million people will be in urgent need of food aid by January 2009.
