Cholera outbreak in Iraq is spreading
-- The Associated Press (Published September 25‚ 2007) GENEVA (AP) An outbreak of cholera in Iraq has spread with new cases confirmed in Baghdad, Basra and for the first time the northern districts of Tikrit, Mosul and Dahuk, the World Health Organization said Tuesday. This takes to 2,116 the number of confirmed cases of cholera in Iraq, and 11 deaths from the disease, WHO said. "It shows that people are moving, and when people are moving they are spreading cholera," said Claire-Lise Chaignat, a cholera expert at WHO. The global health body also said it estimates that more than 30,000 people have fallen ill with acute watery diarrhea, which may later be confirmed as cholera. |
