Cholera Outbreak Struck Mubi, Kills 12
A medical official has stated that a cholera outbreak in the northeast Nigerian state of Adamawa has killed 12 people and may have infected at least 134 others. With nurses on strike and many others displaced by war, this makes it extremely difficult to deal with a deadly plague like this. Ezra Sakawa, medical director of the general hospital for Mubi, said, “We have little manpower to deal with an outbreak of such magnitude.”
