The WHO warns of an increase in the frequency of snakebites caused by climate change in Africa.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning of an increase in the number of snake bites as a result of floods caused by climate change, which claim tens of thousands of victims annually.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are approximately 314,000 cases of snake bites per year, of which 15,000 are fatal, France24 writes.
The region faces a lack of specific treatments needed to save lives. The WHO has announced that it will increase their availability in the most affected areas.
