cholera cases: The city of some 500,000 people is still struggling to provide clean water and sanitation after Cyclone Idai roared in on March 14, according to Toronto Star.

The five cholera cases were confirmed in Munhava, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the hard-hit port city the national director of medical assistance, Ussene Isse, told reporters. A second week has begun with efforts to find and help some tens of thousands of people in devastated parts of southern Africa, with some hundreds dead and an unknown number of people still missing. Some 1.8 million people in Mozambique need urgent help after Cyclone Idai, the United Nations said in an emergency appeal for 282 million for the next three months.
