Nigeria: Worst cholera outbreak in years in Benue State
At least 35 people have died of cholera in the capital of Benue State, Madurdi, and the town of Oturkpo. Both areas have a history of cholera outbreaks but the latest toll is far higher than in previous years.
The cases occurred in areas where conditions are known to be particularly unhygienic and where residents lack clean water.
