Cholera is causing big trouble in Zambia, especially in Lusaka. Families are losing loved ones, and it’s really tough. Some, like Andrew Kazadi, are deeply affected, having just lost his nephew to the disease. They’re facing challenges, like quickly finding coffins for burials.
The government is trying hard to help, turning a stadium into a treatment center, but the situation is still grim. People are dying, and families are struggling to know what’s happening to their sick relatives.
The root of the problem seems to be poor access to clean water and sanitation. Despite promises to fix this, many Zambians still lack basic necessities.
The government is urging everyone to get vaccinated, but some are hesitant, believing in myths or not understanding the importance of vaccines.
It’s a tough situation, but with better education and action on sanitation issues, Zambia can hopefully overcome this deadly outbreak.
