Why is cholera such a difficult disease to manage in areas where there has been a recent natural disaster?
Cholera is a disease spread by water that has been soiled (usually with faeces) and in a natural disaster, especially in a third world country, there can be little to no clean drinking water. People settle for what they have, and it infects them quickly. Also, there is limited medical help in a natural disaster, so people remain contagious around others a long time before being treated.

The severity of the disaster is typically measured by the loss of life, property damage, and long-term impacts on the affected area.
Why does cholera often occur in areas hit by war or natural disasters?
Cholera is caused by contaminated water and poor sanitation, which are common in post-disaster or conflict-affected settings due to disrupted infrastructure and limited access to clean water. Overcrowding in temporary shelters further increases the risk of cholera transmission. Inadequate health services and population displacement also contribute to the spread of the disease in these environments.
