A cholera outbreak in several regions of Syria has killed 29 people, the Syrian Health Ministry said on Monday in what the UN has called the worst outbreak in the war-torn country for years.

Rapid assessment testing confirmed 338 cases since the outbreak was first recorded last month, with the bulk of deaths and cases in the northern Aleppo province, the ministry said in a statement.
