Cholera Outbreak in Zimbabwe, Harare
The country’s health sector has collapsed and hospitals are closing, creating a ‘twin national disaster’. Approximately 565 people have died from cholera since August, with almost 12,550 cumulative cases nationwide. Working with the government, UNICEF has a response team dedicated solely to responding to the outbreak.
