Cholera in Chad: 13 Dead, 240 Cases
Cholera has spread in Chad, resulting in the death of 13 people and approximately 239 cases so far. The majority of these cases and fatalities have been recorded in the Haut Lamis region and the capital, N'Djamena. The ministry has reported an increase in the mortality rate to 5.4%, with 11 deaths in N'Djamena during August. Since the vaccination campaign began on July 24, about 50,800 people have received a vaccine to prevent the disease. Reports indicate that the cholera outbreak started in June, before the official announcement. The disease is treatable through rehydration and antibiotics, but limited access to clean water and sanitation services remain major challenges in controlling the epidemic in the country.
