We’ve been reporting that five cholera cases have now been confirmed in Mozambique in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai.
The Reuters news agency has been speaking to Ussein Isse, a senior Mozambican health official, who expressed concern about what might happen next.
“[Cholera] will spread. When you have one case, you have to expect more cases in the community,” he is quoted as saying.
The World Health Organization is sending 900,000 doses of a cholera vaccine, Reuters reports.
