At least 90 people have died, and more than 12,000 others have been infected in a fast-spreading cholera outbreak in Nigeria's conflict-hit Borno state, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Thursday.
- Death toll from the outbreak that began in early May rose from 74, with about 7,800 infections reported.
- OCHA said aid agencies were scaling up treatment, surveillance and access to clean water to support government efforts to contain the outbreak.
- A $4 million injection from OCHA-managed funds was bolstering the emergency response, but more resources were urgently needed to strengthen prevention and treatment, OCHA said.
