90 percent of cholera will be eliminated by 2030

The United Nations warns that there has been a severe outbreak of cholera in Yemen in a civil war. Cholera has spread in several other African countries. Due to water-borne diseases, an average of one lakh people die every year in the world.

The world is convinced to come out together to reduce the cholera outbreak. On Tuesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a roadmap. On Wednesday, the World Health Organization and donor companies gathered in France in the discussions on Wednesday. By 2030, cholera reduces the death rate by 90 percent.

Observers comment that cholera outbreaks are more targeted in the war-ravaged regions. There was an unhealthy environment, cholera spread rapidly due to obstruction of safe water supply. Yemen's health, water and sanitation facilities have been destroyed in this civil war since March 2015. Nearly eight million people have been infected with cholera in war-torn Yemen. Two thousand people died. Of these, there are many children. Many organizations have warned that the number of dead people will increase.

Due to the entry of water and food in the bacteria called Vibrio cholera, cholera spreads. This disease spreads rapidly in dirty and confined areas. According to the University of  John Hopkins University of the United States, more than 6,75,000 people annually have cholera in India. More than 20,000 people died in this. Ethiopia has affected more than 2, 75,000 people annually. About 10 thousand died. More than two and a half thousand of cholera patients die more than 2,500 in Nigeria annually.

More than 500,000 Rohingya refugees fleeing Bangladesh are in unhealthy environments. The cholera outbreak is also being feared among them. So vaccination of about 9 lakh calories has been sent to refugee camps as a preventive measure.

Cholera treatment is not very expensive. Needed and awareness needed. WHO's Choleraic Head Dr. Dominic Lagos said, "We do not want to see the outbreak of cholera every year. There are ways to prevent us. It should be used right now. If we can ensure safe water and a healthy environment then cholera spreading is possible.
