Zimbabwe & Region Appeal

A severe cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region, including South Africa, Angola and Mozambique, has claimed more than 1,000 lives and affected more than 32,000 people.

The situation is critical. Many people are struggling to get clean water and enough food.

Zimbabwe faces a severe shortage of health professionals, hospitals are without necessary equipment and medication, and water and sanitation systems are at breaking point.

And it could get a lot worse. We are a few weeks away from the beginning of the rainy season, which usually leads to seasonal floods and is the time when we typically see the first serious cases of cholera. But this time, we have an already severe situation, compounded by continuing food shortages.

We need to act now.

The Red Cross is already on the ground distributing clean water and food and focusing on public education. Cholera is a treatable and curable disease, but people need to know the simple steps they can take to minimise or even eliminate its risks.
