The public health directorate under Taliban control in Zabul has reported an increase in rabies cases in this province.
Officials of this directorate said on Saturday, May 13, that more than 50 people, including children, have visited health centers in the province during the past week due to being bitten by rabid dogs.
Among those affected by the rabies, seven children are included, two of whom are reported to be in critical condition.
However, health officials in Zabul say that the vaccination campaign has begun and the patients are under treatment.
Meanwhile, the increase in rabies and the lack of a plan to solve this problem in Zabul has caused concern for the residents of this province. Dozens of people have previously been affected by this disease in Kandahar province.
