Hundreds dead in Zimbabwe malaria outbreakFrom NDABENI MLOTHSWA in Bulawayo, ZimbabweBULAWAYO, (CAJ News) – A MALARIA outbreak linked to devastating floods has killed about 200 people in beleaguered Zimbabwe. The 194 casualties have been recorded from a cumulative figure of 134 223 reported cases since the flooding began in January. Worryingly, in the affected districts where thousands are displaced, children aged under five face imminent outbreaks of vaccine preventable conditions, particularly measles and cholera. More than 250 people have been killed, 128 injured and 100 000 lack access to safe drinking water after the floods. The floods have affected children’s access to education.
