Over the last four days, the number of cholera deaths in the country increased from 294 to 313 and the number of cases has increased from 6,072 to 7,283, the U.N. Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs said on Monday. The numbers have been reported from August till now.

Health officials say the water-borne disease is spreading fast because of the poor sanitation or contaminated water, which Zimbabweans are using for drinking and to prepare food.
