Remember I told you about Lebanon NOWWW Syria having problem with this disease Twelve years of war, starvation, poverty, COVID, and, in large swaths of the country, decimated infrastructure: Now, Syria is facing its next catastrophe. Cholera has been rapidly spreading across the country's northeast and northwest, hitting the regions surrounding Aleppo, Idlib and Al-Hasakah especially hard. Syria's first outbreak of cholera was registered on September 10. According to the aid organization Caritas International, more than 15,000 cases have been documented since — and infection rates are climbing. More than 60 people have already died. The threat of cholera spreading across the whole of Syria and even into neighboring countries is very real. Hundreds of cases have already been registered near Lebanon's border to Syria. Cases have also been recorded in Iraq. www.dw.com/en/syria-fights-against-cholera/a-63523511
