"UNICEF said yesterday in Kinshasa that the death toll from cholera in DR Congo had jumped from 30 to 211 in just four days. As in earlier reports, a majority of the victims are young children and adolescents and the epidemic is still centered in Kisangani (eastern part of the country). Various medical aid organizations are providing relief assistance. The Dutch wing of MSF (Doctors without Borders) has established an isolation facility in Kisangani."-- Dorothy Preslar <dpreslar@fas.org> on ProMED-mail <promed@usa.healthnet.org>
