Cholera detected in Kabul

Authorities have detected 30 cases of cholera among more than 2,500 instances of acute diarrhea in the Afghan capital Kabul, but there appears to be no danger of an epidemic despite four deaths, officials said on Tuesday.
The cholera cases were detected in the past three weeks and the government had taken immediate action to ensure water supplies were kept clean by chlorination, said Abdullah Fahim, an adviser to the Ministry of Public Health.
