Chad's cholera death toll rises
The cholera toll in Chad has risen to 13 deaths and 239 cases since July, with most cases concentrated in the Hajjar Lemis region and the capital, N'Djamena. Authorities reported 11 deaths in N'Djamena during August, while vaccination efforts continue, with around 50,800 people having received the vaccine. The outbreak is attributed to consuming contaminated water or food. Cholera is treatable but can quickly lead to death if not properly managed. Chad faces ongoing challenges in improving sanitation infrastructure and providing safe drinking water services.
