New York, 11 Aug-(ANA)-Five United Nations humanitarian agencies are rushing medical supplies and other materials to northern Cameroon, where the country’s worst outbreak of cholera in six years has already claimed at least 155 lives.
Cholera drugs, oral rehydration salts, hygiene kits, surgical gloves, family
water kits and educational materials are among the items that have been
dispatched, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported today from Yaoundé, the capital.
UNICEF said it is working with the World Health Organization, the UN Population
Fund (UNFPA), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) – as well as Government
ministries and the Red Cross – to bring relief to people in need, particularly women and children. (ANA)
