Eight people have died of cholera in South Sudan, and the administration's drastic cuts to USAID, which helps poor countries address health issues, is partly to blame. https://bit.ly/4i7FubC #usaid #cholera

Aunt Aisha survived memory loss but not #cholera. The killer of #Yemen. The disease took her like it had already taken thousands more....#war has turned sickness into a death sentence.

...my brother....We tried so hard the night before he passed, but the roads were closed. We couldn’t bring him the oxygen he needed.

...They gave her everything they could so she could take her son to the city hospital. The poorest of the poor saved her child.

We went to #Leiden last week and went to the #RijksmuseumBoerhaave
I love that museum.
Again I was struck by the mapping of #cholera epidemics. (I live near the #Dunea Water tower in The Hague so I'm mindful of water treatment and cholera.)
I tried to take a photo of my favourite map, it hasn't come out well, but #MartijnStorms made a good write up with a decent image online in this:

Port #sudan – More than 2200 people, including children, are now battling the deadly #cholera outbreak in the city of Kosti, the capital of Sudan’s White Nile state, with the state the latest to announce the arrival of the deadly disease, #SavetheChildren said.

Between February 20 and 26, Sudan’s Ministry of Health, reported over 2243 cases of cholera - or an average of nearly 400 cases a day - in Kosti.

Clean water - no cholera.
Clean air - no covid.
Clean info - no disinformation.

#Cholera sharply rising, esp. in parts of Africa. Bad time to defund WHO, Gavi, USAID. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/feb/11/dirty-water-and-endless-wars-why-cholera-outbreaks-are-on-the-rise-again
