Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders) is currently battling outbreaks of cholera and measles in and around the town of Marere in southern Somalia.

Cholera and measles are typical opportunistic diseases that occur in places where people gather who are weakened and malnourished, whose immune systems are low, where clean drinking water is scarce and sanitary conditions insufficient.
