Zimbabwe Cholera Outbreak
As if the people of Zimbabwe hadn’t suffered enough, on top of deprivation and the tyranny of Robert Mugabe’s government they are now suffering an outbreak of the killer disease cholera. According to the country’s main newspaper, the Herald, “The government yesterday declared the cholera outbreak...and the malfunctioning of central hospitals as national emergencies and appealed to the donor community for assistance to alleviate the situation.” The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the outbreak has claimed 565 lives, with 12,546 recorded cases so far. Cholera, a water-borne disease, is preventable.
