Tanzania records 26 cholera deaths in one month: health ministry

Dar es Salaam, Mar 1 (UNI) At least 26 people have been killed by cholera in mainland Tanzania's 10 regions since the outbreak of the disease was reported on Jan. 5 through Feb. 8, the Health Ministry said Friday.
In addition, 816 cholera cases were recorded in the 10 regions during the period under review, according to a statement released by the ministry.
The outbreak of the disease was caused by ongoing heavy rains that led to poor access to potable water and a lack of sanitation facilities and community awareness, the ministry said. The 10 affected regions are Dodoma, Kagera, Katavi, Manyara, Mara, Morogoro, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Simiyu and Tabora.
