Six new cases of cholera have been detected in Baghdad, sources at the Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital said.

The sources, refusing to be named, said the government was trying hard not to let news about the contagious disease spread in Baghdad where fears are rising of a massive outbreak unless the disease is contained.

Medical personnel have discovered at least 80 more new cases of cholera but the authorities would not let media report on the spread of the disease.

The sources say most of the new victims are children from the most impoverished quarters east of the capital which lack basic amenities such as pure water.
