Angola
has been battling with its worst ever cholera epidemic, with
over 500 new cases per day reported during the peak of the
outbreak. The origin of the epidemic was the capital Luanda
where around 90% of the city’s total population lives
in slums. The Angolan Red Cross (ARC) staff and volunteers
have been working in Luanda since the beginning of the cholera
outbreak.
