World Briefing | Africa: Congo: Fears Of A Cholera EpidemicAn outbreak of cholera in Congos eastern city of Goma is raising fears of an epidemic among tens of thousands of refugees in camps, aid workers said. Fighting between government soldiers, Tutsi insurgents, Rwandan Hutu rebels and local Mai Mai militia has forced more than 370,000 to flee villages in North Kivu Province this year. More than 45,000 displaced people now live in five overcrowded camps on the edge of Goma. The medical charity Doctors Without Borders said it had recorded 533 cases of cholera at health centers it supports, in both the camps and Goma, over the past six weeks. United Nations officials said some 189 cases were reported between Oct. 24 and 28 alone, mostly in the camps for the displaced.
