About 30 children have been killed following a fresh
outbreak of diarrhoea in Imo State. According
to a post on the Imo State Government Blog, the administration disclosed that
diarrhoea is relatively common in remote areas of the state.
“Diarrhoea is relatively common in remote areas of the
state, where potable water is often scarce and residents frequently rely on
water from unwholesome sources,” the government explained.
According to the state Commissioner for Health, Mrs. Ngozi
Njoku, the death toll from the latest outbreak had risen to 30 in the last few
weeks. She further said several other children are also receiving treatments in
various hospitals in the state. She finally disclosed that 65 suspected cases have
also been reported.
