Cholera outbreak over

    NAIROBI
    Almost 500 cholera cases were reported in Kisangani between September and the beginning of November, and over 20 deaths were attributed to the disease, humanitarian sources told IRIN over the weekend. They said the cholera outbreak had now been brought to an end as a result of emergency interventions by humanitarian agencies and local health authorities. Meanwhile, residents of Kisangani told IRIN that the city’s running water supply was functioning only six hours a day due to a shortage of water-treatment chemicals.
