A cholera outbreak has sickened more than 540 people in Kenya's largest refugee camp and killed seven in the last few weeks, the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said, warning the epidemic could worsen due to heavy rains.
MSF has set up a cholera treatment centre in the sprawling Dadaab camp, which is home to some 350,000 refugees, mostlySomalis and South Sudanese who have fled neighbouring civil wars.
