Papua New Guinea hit by cholera
An outbreak of cholera has reportedly killed more than 40 people in a remote area of Papua New Guinea. Government officials said that hundreds of other villagers in Morobe Province have fallen ill. A World Health Organisation medical team has confirmed the outbreak and PNG's health minister has ordered measures to contain its spread. Cholera is usually spread through contaminated food or water and can be fatal if not treated.
