Floods and Cholera

The country of Pakistan is experiencing some of the worst flooding they’ve ever had. The rains have caused waters to rise and have wiped out thousands of homes and fields. The government has not been able to give relief to the people and this has caused much dissention. Adding to the problem is the confirmation of at least one case of cholera.

Cholera is a water-borne disease that can be very deadly. Quick action is needed to prevent the spread of the disease. The international community is helping with relief funds, but the country needs much more to combat the deadly floods.
