CHOLERA has been confirmed in two southern Sudanese cities in a rapidly spreading outbreak that has claimed 27 lives, UN officials said.
With cities full to the brim of returning southerners following a 2005 peace deal, the bare infrastructure cannot cope and two-thirds of the population drink unclean water, a carrier of the disease.
"It's particularly alarming in Juba, where a city of at least 250,000 depends to a great extent on untreated water from the Nile," said the UN children's agency (UNICEF) spokesman Ben Parker.
In less than two weeks, 1433 cases have been reported and at least 27 people have been killed by the outbreak first reported in the town of Yei earlier this month, The World Health Organisation (WHO) said.
