About 41 people out of 2,601 reported cholera cases have been killed in the northern and central parts of Mozambique, the spokesperson of the country's health ministry, Leonardo Chavane said. He said the situation remains worrying as some provinces hit by cholera are now also affected by flooding, which is likely to spread the disease further.
Earlier this year, seven people died in a riot sparked by false rumours that health staff were spreading cholera rather than fighting it. The wave of attacks on health centres caused by such rumours has died down.
