First cholera death recorded in Mozambique since Cyclone Idai, number of cases double

Women and men pick up bricks from a collapsed house to build another structure in Beira, Mozambique, on Sunday, March, 31, 2019. Cyclone Idai smashed into Beira on March 14, unleashing catastrophic flooding and killing more than 700 people.The number of cholera cases has almost doubled in Mozambique in the past 24 hours and the port city of Beira has recorded its first death from the disease since a massive cyclone struck, health chiefs said on Sunday.

The aftermath may prove to be even deadlier with 1.85 million people displaced after entire villages were submerged and households swept away.“We’ve now registered one death from cholera. The person came here in a very critical condition. The deceased is the first to die from cholera inside our health facilities,” Mozambique’s National Director for Medical Assistance, Ussene Isse, said on public television channel TVN.
