2009
More than 3,300 people have died from the worst outbreak of cholera in Zimbabwe's history, which has infected nearly 66,000 people.
The epidemic has been fuelled by the country's economic meltdown, which has led to the collapse of the country's water, health and sanitation systems.
Matthew Cochrane, from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, is keeping a diary for the BBC News website as he travels around Zimbabwe this week to see the situation for himself.
