#Malawi is experiencing the deadliest #cholera #outbreak in its history with more than 36.000 cases and 1210 deaths.

"Currently, the large geographic spread and the high number of reported cases in the country are stretching all capacity to respond to the outbreak, increasing the risk of serious public health impact."

"With a sharp increase of cases seen over the last month, fears are that the outbreak will continue to worsen without strong interventions."
