Zimbabwe Cholera Cases Decline – WHO
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has reported that the number of people who have died from cholera in the country has topped 4 000, with over 89 000 infected by the disease, but there has been a decline in new cases.
WHO spokesperson, Fadela Chaib, points out that the organisation has recorded a decline in cases and deaths from week to week since the start of 2009.
According to a report released by Medecins Sans Frontiere last month, lack of clean water together with the blocked sewage systems and the uncollected refuse overflowing in the streets, has been at the centre of the cholera outbreak.
