IDP Chronicles: Children die of cholera in Niger camp after fleeing terror of bandits via thecableng Cc: abusbello NigerStateNG

Azumi Markus is one of them — she once lived in Sabon Kabila in Munya LGA before she was pressured out of the village by the relentless terror of bandits.

“He was taken to a clinic in Chibiani village, we bought all the medicines we were asked to buy but the vomiting and defecation did not stop. He died and left all the drugs,” she lamented.Habibu Kurebe, one of the officials in charge of Gwada IDP camp, said three children were lost to cholera between October and November 2021. He explained that the camp has no medical capacity to handle such cases.

Speaking on food availability, Kurebe said the IDPs only eat once a day and hardly enjoy a balanced diet, as they mostly feed on the local dami-dami – mashed food made from maize or millet. She battled cholera for two days without seeking medical attention, choosing to use anti-malaria and painkiller drugs.

Tani said the camp recorded over ten cases, mostly women, confirming that three toddlers between the ages of three and five died during the outbreak.
