Cholera is experiencing a troubling resurgence, exacerbated by conflict and climate change, with 2024 seeing over 800,000 reported cases and nearly 6,000 deaths. The World Health Organization's figures reflect a nearly 50% increase from the previous year, and estimates suggest actual cases could be much higher. Countries like Myanmar and Sudan are requesting cholera vaccines from a depleted global stockpile. The increased demand for treatment in conflict zones complicates control measures, highlighting urgent public health challenges that require immediate attention and resources.
In 2024, cholera cases surged to 804,721 with 5,805 deaths, driven by conflict and climate change, revealing a dire global health crisis.
With a severe lack of vaccines, six countries have already requested emergency doses, highlighting an alarming depletion of the global cholera vaccine stockpile.
