The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) said the government body charged with providing water in urban areas had failed to do so, forcing many resident to rely on unclean water.
“This coupled with a breakdown in the sanitation system (burst sewage pipes and lack of refuse collection and proper disposal) is threatening the health of millions of Zimbabweans,” the ZADHR said in a statement this week.
The doctors group spoke as the Ministry of Health confirmed the death of three people this week because of cholera in Chitungwiza, bringing the total to 16 deaths since last month. – ZimOnline
