4. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Turning to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, our humanitarian colleagues there are telling us there is a cholera outbreak in the North Kivu province. They say the areas of Goma, Karisimbi, Masisi and Nyiragongo are particularly impacted by this outbreak. Health authorities have registered 1,800 confirmed and suspected cases between 13 and 19 March, that’s compared to the 1,000 cases in the previous week. In total, 6,200 cases have been registered between the beginning of the year and last week. The affected areas host over one million internally displaced people with precarious living conditions in many displacement sites. We are of course concerned that people’s limited access to water and inadequate hygiene conditions facilitates the spread of this disease. We along with our partners continue to support cholera treatment centres. However, resources are limited, and the situation may deteriorate further without additional funding to scale up the response.”
