YAOUNDÈ, Cameroon – UN estimates about a severe cholera outbreak across the Southern Africa region may be wide of the mark, according to a Catholic expert who says the reality may be even worse.
The UN has estimated that there have been more than 3,000 deaths in the past year and almost 200,000 people affected. This crisis has spread across six countries including Mozambique, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania, while the situation in Zambia and Zimbabwe is reported to be dire and deeply concerning. Communities have been grappling with cholera for the past year, but the past two months have seen an alarming significant spike in cases since the onset of the rainy season.
