More children have been admitted to a hospital in the Bakool region with acute watery diarrhea.
Sources at the Hudur District Hospital indicate that new patients were brought into the hospital on Sunday, June 12.
Most of the new patients were young children.
Cases of the acute watery diarrhea disease have increased significantly in the last few weeks as the ongoing drought continues to bite in the region.
The local administration has appealed for the intervention of all stakeholders.
