MOZAMBIQUE, Beira - Treatment centres are being set up in Mozambique following at least five confirmed cases of cholera in Mozambique.
The United Nations confirmed the cases on Wednesday, saying it is acting swiftly to avoid a major outbreak across the country. The UN said that it will increase public awareness about the dangers of drinking contaminated water to avoid the spread of cholera. Almost one million vaccines are being brought to Mozambique to be administered to those who contracted the disease.
Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, the deputy director of the UN Humanitarian operation, said: “We have to set up diarrhoea and cholera treatment centres. Those are the areas that we’ve poured huge resources to, to treat and ultimately support people. It [cholera] is passed very quickly through the water, so unless we get on top of it quickly it can lead to a much larger outbreak.
The people in Vryheid is being told to only drink bottled water. The MyANC has done to SA what Idai did to Mozambique. Get rid of the incompetent MyANC on May 8.
