WHO says at least 1,000 cases of cholera have emerged since the start of October.
The UN health agency fears this is a direct result to the increasing insecurity in the region.
In Geneva, Spokesman Paul Garwood says this growing trend of the spread of cholera is of major concern to WHO and the international community:
"We've started buying locally in the region supplies for the treatment of cholera and distributing them amongst partners and to local health authorities. Currently in Entebbe Airport, in Kampala, across the border in Uganda, we have 60 tonnes of supplies that WFP have helped fly in to the country and store there. And immediately we expect to start transporting by road those supplies into Goma and surrounding areas to help distribute to local communities, health services and health partners there. The major part of these supplies (are) diarrhoeal and other cholera-related medicines and supplies to help control any further outbreak."
Garwood says medical authorities have not seen an explosion in cholera cases but the risks are very high, particularly because there are inaccessible areas where they fear that services are needed and there are people who can't be reached as yet.
