JUBA, June 21 (Xinhua) -- The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on Wednesday warned that cholera outbreaks in East Africa and Yemen are compounding famine risks.
IFRC Secretary General Elhadj As Sy, warned that cholera was already diverting resources and focus away from efforts to treat malnutrition and widespread hunger.
"Right now, Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff are working around the clock to stop the spread of cholera Zapatillas Nike Air Max 2019 Baratas , and to treat people who are sick," said Sy in a statement.
"But without treatment for malnutrition, more people will fall ill. And a child who survives cholera will be even further malnourished. It is the most vicious of vicious spirals, and the situation is rapidly escalating downwards and out of control," he added.
The UN early this year warned of imminent famine in South Sudan, northeast Nigeria Nike Air Max 2019 Baratas Online , Somalia and Yemen.
Yemen, Somalia and South Sudan are now grappling with escalating cholera outbreaks that have infected more than 220,000 people and killed nearly 2,100 since the beginning of 2017.
"Hunger kills in and of itself, but it kills to the nth degree when compounded by disease -- and often completely preventable disease, like measles Nike Air Max 2019 Niños Baratas , malaria, and cholera," said Sy.
According to the charity, there have been more than 51,000 cholera cases in Somalia and nearly 5,000 in South Sudan.
According to the UN Nike Air Max 2019 Mujer Baratas , at least 248 people have died from cholera outbreak across 19 counties in South Sudan since the initial outbreak was reported in June 2016.
The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said as of May 15, 8,160 cholera cases had been reported since the initial case was recorded on June 18, 2016.
In Somalia, the UN says some 683 deaths have been recorded, with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 1.8 percent since the beginning of the year.
Sy urged states to increase their funding for humanitarian appeals in each of these countries.
