Five people have died after a cholera outbreak in Mandera County while 320 others have been infected.
Health executive Ahmed Sheikh linked the outbreak to poor hygiene and the ongoing heavy rains.
"We have noticed symptoms of cholera which is a normal infection and as we continue treating the patients they are getting better as we are giving them antibiotics and lots of fluids," he said.
Thirty patients are currently receiving treatment at Mandera County Referral Hospital's special ward.
