The World Health
Organization (WHO) says Malawi is going through its worst ever outbreak of
cholera.
It has killed more than 1,200 people over the last year. All but two of
the country's 29 districts are now affected.
There have been two large vaccination campaigns, but, due to limited
supplies, people have been offered just one oral dose instead of the
recommended two.
The UN health body said efforts were under way to improve sanitation and
access to clean water with house-to-house chlorination in affected areas.
It says there has been an increase in cholera outbreaks worldwide, which
has led to a shortage of vaccines.
