Gastroenteritis is a medical condition that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often triggered by contaminated food or water.
 
While treatable, it can turn deadly if not addressed promptly.

In the last few months, gastroenteritis has claimed the lives of 25 people across 18 local government areas of Sokoto State, leaving families in a state of mourning and raising serious concerns about sanitation, healthcare access, and public health education.

This episode of Nigeria Daily will investigate the human toll of the outbreak.
