🇬🇧🇨🇻 More than 1,700 Brits have now joined the legal action against travel company Tui after becoming ill while on holiday in the Cape Verde islands. Since 2022, Tui has taken more than one million holidaymakers to Cape Verde.

At least eight Britons have now died after holidays there in recent years. In February, UK health officials warned Britons over travel to the West African archipelago following reports of stomach bugs.

In February, an investigation by the UK Health Security Agency found that since October 2025, there had been 112 reported cases of shigella and 43 of salmonella linked to travel to Cape Verde.

Shigella and salmonella are gastrointestinal infections which can cause diarrhoea, stomach cramps and fever.

Lawyers say they have been gathering evidence of issues at some hotels in the country. Footage seen by the BBC and Sky News shows what appears to be undercooked food, buffets surrounded by flies and mould in rooms.
