The United Nations says the number of deaths in Zimbabwe since August from a cholera outbreak has increased by 19 and the disease has spread to more than half of the country. Elisabeth Byrs from the U.N. humanitarian coordination office says the number of deaths is now 313, up from 294. She says a total of 7,283 cases have been counted between the end of August and Nov. 20, with an increase in the past few weeks, Associated Press reported.
