A cholera outbreak in Angola has killed at least 108 people since January 7, with 3,147 confirmed cases, nearly half in the capital Luanda. The outbreak has primarily affected individuals aged 2 to 100. Cholera, a severe intestinal infection, spreads through contaminated food and water, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. Despite being treatable, fatalities are rising. The World Health Organization reported a 71 per cent increase in cholera deaths worldwide in 2023, with Africa experiencing a 125 per cent surge in cases, highlighting the urgent need for improved sanitation and healthcare responses.
