Refugee cholera outbreak

Burundi Tanzania0 Comments

Outbreaks of cholera and severe diarrhoea strike tens of thousands of refugees from Burundi who are jammed into a village in neighbouring Tanzania.

There is not enough safe water for drinking. UNHCR reports at least seven Burundian refugees have died of severe diarrhoea.
