Cholera threatens survivors of Cyclone Idai

(www.cargofee.com) News Broadcast：

OCHA says almost three million people have been affected by Idai in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi with many of them in camps where there is little or no clear water and sanitation. In Malawi the government says 56 people have died, 557 injured and over 922,900 people have been displaced. The European Union reports 172 people are dead and 327 still missing in Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile an EU Civil Protection team of 12 experts from Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, and Slovenia is now in Mozambique operating between Maputo and Beira to facilitate incoming assistance.

Although flooding is beginning to recede west of Beira (pictured) the result is posing a new threat of water-borne disease as the area is now a large muddy swamp. On March 27 the government confirmed five cases of cholera as 900,000 doses of oral cholera vaccines are expected to arrive in Mozambique on April 01.
