More than 2,500 cases of deadly disease registered since April in world’s youngest country that is already under grip of famine

More than 2,500 cases of the disease have been registered since April, a sharp increase over previous months. The total over the last year has now risen to 8,000, with about 250 confirmed deaths. Experts say this is likely to be only a fraction of overall toll.
