" Countries in Africa and Asia are reporting several outbreaks of Cholera disease, diarrhoea and dysentery, warns The Travel Clinic.
Countries reporting outbreaks within Africa include Nigeria, with official reports of 120+ people becoming infected with cholera disease and sadly four deaths.
In Uganda, where frequent flooding is to blame for the outbreaks, there have been six deaths and dozens admitted to hospital in Eastern Uganda. Floods destroyed latrine facilities causing contamination to the drinking water.
Moroto district of Uganda is reporting the involvement of over 40 villages in a Cholera outbreak where currently 20-25 new cases are being confirmed daily. There are fears that this outbreak could continue to spread even further.
Sudan’s Cholera outbreak has just entered its third week and is showing little signs of slowing down. Several villages have reported cases of Cholera disease and this is set to continue; it is likely to get worse before it gets better.
Kenya is reporting the worst outbreak of Cholera disease since the rains bega. A fast-spreading outbreak has claimed many lives and once again floods are to blame."
