Mariupol: an epidemic of cholera may begin

“In Mariupol, there is a threat of the death of tens of thousands of people due to an epidemic of cholera, if not organize a complete evacuation of the population.” This was reported in the Mariupol City Council.

It is noted that in the destroyed city today there are no centralized water supply and sewage, the streets are littered with garbage and sewage, in every yard there are spontaneous burials, and the corpses under the rubble began to decompose stronger due to the heat.

There are also no medicines in Mariupol, hospitals were destroyed by bombing, the sea and ponds are constantly polluted by cadaveric waters and sewage. All these factors, according to the Mariupol City Council, are threatened with an epidemic of cholera, which causes mortality in 10% with the most optimistic scenarios, and without systemic treatment the disease takes up to 60% of lives.
