Cholera cases detected in displacement sites after earthquake in Myanmar
Acute watery diarrhea/cholera cases reported in earthquake-affected displacement sites in Myanmar.
Following the recent earthquake in Myanmar, World Health Organization has detected cases of acute watery diarrhea in displacement sites, with 47 cases reported across Mandalay and Sagaing regions. The destruction of water and sanitation infrastructure has left many communities without safe access to drinking water, which is driving up illness rates. The contaminated water is causing a rise in diarrheal disease, including cholera, among displaced populations who are already living in extremely difficult conditions.
