A health official says it is 'heart-wrenching' to see children suffer from a preventable disease.
More than 600 people, mostly children, have died of diphtheria in Nigeria since the current outbreak began in December 2022, officials say.
It is spread by coughs and sneezes or through close contact with someone who is infected, and in serious cases can be fatal. The World Health Organization said the fatality and infection rate may be higher due to low testing and the failure by some patients to report their symptoms.
