Schools have reopened in Malawi's two major cities following a cholera outbreak that killed hundreds of people.
Schools in the capital, Lilongwe, and the commercial hub, Blantyre, had remained closed for at least two weeks after the Christmas holidays.
The cholera outbreak began in March last year and has so far killed more than 750 people.
The widespread cases of cholera in the country are as a result of the aftermath of tropical storm Ana and cyclone Gombe that caused extensive flooding last year and destroyed the country's water and sanitation systems.
