...this happens at a time when Harare cannot supply safe water to its citizens. Had it not been for international relief organizations, many fear, the death toll from the cholera outbreak would have been much higher, perhaps into the tens of thousands. Cholera-related deaths per day have since gone down, but Oxfam's chief executive, Barbara Stocking, believes the crisis has not ended.
