Zimbabwe - Another Typhoid Outbreak
A fresh outbreak of typhoid has been reported in Mbare’s Matapi flats at the weekend, raising fears that the disease could blow out of control if it is not contained before the onset of the rainy season.
The latest outbreak, confirmed by a council spokesperson yesterday, has been blamed on water shortages, raw sewer spillages and uncollected garbage in Harare’s populous high-density suburb. 83 cases of typhoid have been confirmed in Harare this year.
