Zimbabwe is struggling with its worst outbreak of cholera in a decade, which has killed at least 28 people.
An emergency has been declared and public gatherings banned in the capital, Harare.
Most victims died from dehydration caused by vomiting and diarrhoea.
The World Health Organization says having access to safe water and sanitation is critical in controlling the transmission of cholera and other waterborne diseases.
The Health Minister, Obadiah Moyo blames the opposition-run city council for the crisis.
But the opposition Movement for Democratic Change said government has failed to provide the funds needed to overhaul the situation.
