Health authorities say the first person has died from cholera in Zimbabwe's capital Harare after outbreaks elsewhere in the country, according to AP. At least 27 people have died from cholera, mostly in impoverished districts, across the country in recent weeks and hundreds have been treated for the highly infectious intestinal disease spread by contaminated food and water. Doctors have reported at least 120 preventable deaths from cholera and diarrhea this year.
