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.
