GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations says the death toll from Zimbabwe's cholera outbreak has risen to 2,106.

The World Health Organization says more than 40,448 people have been infected by the disease since the outbreak began in August.

The figures released Wednesday by WHO show that the fatality rate for the newly added cases stands at 12.6 percent. The average fatality rate from cholera in Zimbabwe is at 5.2 percent. Both are far above the 1 percent considered normal in large-scale outbreaks.

Cholera has spread in Zimbabwe because of the country's crumbling health care system and water supply infrastructure.
