Nepal: Diarrhea Fears in Worst-Hit Quake Areas
abcnews.go.com - by The Associated Press - May 3, 2015
Nepal's health secretary says there have been reports of people being hit by diarrhea in several districts in remote mountain villages worst-hit by the April 25 earthquake. However, he says there is no epidemic yet and authorities hope to bring it under control.
Health Secretary Santa Shrestha said Sunday that health teams with medicine have rushed to many of the affected areas.
Earlier, the U.N. children's agency, UNICEF, warned of the risks of disease on children following the quake.
"With the monsoon season only a few weeks away, children will be at heightened risk of diseases like cholera and diarrhea infections, as well as being more vulnerable to the threat of landslides and floods," the agency said.
