Medical experts say the number of cholera cases in Zimbabwe could double to 123 000 cases and go beyond May this year
The collapsed  health, water and sanitation systems in Zimbabwe is compounding the raging cholera epidemic in the country, which according to medical experts could see the number of cholera cases double to 123 000 and go beyond May.

According to aid agencies, the number of people dying at home, with no access to healthcare and little money for basic dehydration products such as sugar and salt, is now at 60 percent.

The outbreak is continuing to make inroads into rural areas and threatening neighbouring countries.
