WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record, volume 101 issue 31 (epidemiological week 31, 27 July to 2 August 2026), which now carries the monthly multi-country cholera update in place of the numbered series that ended at #38: Somalia reported 233 cumulative cholera cases and 0 deaths (CFR 0.0%) from 1 January to 28 June 2026, with no new cases in the last 28 days of the reporting period. Note: WHO's live ArcGIS cholera dashboard has not reflected any Somalia updates since mid-January 2026 and understates this figure — this row is sourced from the monthly Epidemiological Update instead.
