Benue Govt partners with UNICEF to prevent cholera

A decade on, the world has largely forgotten about the Chibok girls, who were kidnapped by Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamist militants. But for victims and their families, like Solomon Maina, who is still waiting for news about his daughter, the tragedy is ongoing.

In the French overseas department of Mayotte, authorities have opened a second cholera unit. The number of confirmed cholera cases now stands at 26 since mid-March.
