=Cholera in Zimbabwe=

In Zimbabwe, a Cholera outbreak has affected the country killing hundreds. Dr Edwin Muguti said the country's health sector, had enormous and huge difficulties trying to resolve the problem. The hospitals did not seem to respond very well in this situation. Almost 13,000 Cases of cholera have been reported, more to come. The fact that many people can not sanitize themselves, makes the situation worse. Also, it seems that most of the outbreaks are happening in rural areas, and less in city areas according to WHO (World Health Organization). About 80% of the reported outbreaks are in rural areas, the rest of the 20% in city or urban areas. The government is trying to solve the problem, already asking for help and assistance by appealing for international help.

Opinion: I believe that the sanitation is a problem in Zimbabwe, because of no clean water near rural areas, those areas are more likely to have Cholera outbreaks. Already there is 13,000 cases of Cholera, which may rise continuously as long as this problem remains unresolved. I think BBC explains very thoroughly on the situation at hand, having about roughly the same amount of data as allafrica. Although, allafrica has more quotes, and has more reliable sources Dr.MandlHate, or the WHO.
