Flu and fever spread in Jajarkot camps sheltering Saturday’s landslide survivors

Contaminated water, inadequate toilets and rotting animal carcasses are raising the risk of water- and vector-borne diseases.

Dozens of landslide survivors in Jajarkot have fallen ill with flu and fever, officials say, as 691 people displaced by Saturday’s landslides were forced to take shelter at temporary camps in Bheri Municipality’s wards 2 and 3.
