About 800 people are thought to have been affected by the outbreak, at UNHCR's Hasansham U2 refugee camp, east of Mosul. People began vomiting and complaining of stomach pains shortly after Iftar, the evening meal that Muslims eat to break their fasts during Ramadan. Iraqi police have opened an investigation into what caused the outbreak at the camp, which houses refugees who have fled the ongoing battle for Mosul. "UNHCR is extremely concerned by events at the camp, which has resulted in at least one casualty, with hundreds of other people falling ill," the UN's Refugee Agency said in a statement.
