At least 14 people died of diarrhoea and eight others died of undiagnosed disease in two different districts of far-western Nepal, officials said here Wednesday.

"More than 14 people died of diarrhoea in Toleni village of Doti district in the last three weeks," Hikmat Bahadur Bogati, an official at district health office, told reporters.

About 80 people in the village are seriously ill and there is no medicine for them, he noted, adding, "A health worker team has already been dispatched to the epidemic affected area."

Meanwhile, eight civilians died from an undiagnosed disease in Bajura district in the past one week.

"Eight people died of an undiagnosed disease that spread in Barbise, Naubise, Toli and Kailashmandau village," said Deepak Shah, acting chief of the district health office.

About hundreds of local people have been inflicted with the disease, he noted, adding, "We can't do anything about the undiagnosed epidemic as there is no medicine."
