Diarrhoea Outbreak Hits Isiolo County
-About 500 people living along Ewaso Ng’iro River settlements in Isiolo County have been affected by a diarrhoeal disease outbreak in the last two months.
County Public Health officer Guracha Sarite said the outbreak has affected vulnerable children under five years and women in several areas of Merti, Garbatulla and Oldonyiro since September.
-Water sources have been contaminated by faecal matter due to flooding in areas where open defecation is practiced by the communities.
