No less than 11 people have confirm dead and more than 100 others are currently undergoing
treatment a fresh Cholera outbreak in Adamawa State.
Speaking to Reuters, The Chief Medical Director, General Hospital Mubi, Dr.Ezra Sakawa confirmed that “we have little manpower to deal with an outbreak of such magnitude" adding that nurses were on strike.
For about nine years Nigeria has been battling insurgency which has claimed the lives of many in the Northeast. The conflict has spawned one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises, with millions of people displaced and in need of aid to survive.
Those conditions are ripe for an outbreak of disease, such as Cholera, to be deadly on a wide scale, humanitarian workers say. Mubi, although less affected by the humanitarian crisis, has been attacked repeatedly by suspected Boko Haram militants, killing scores of people.
