BEIRUT (Xinhua) – The World Health Organization (WHO) says that 10.2 million U.S. dollars are required for public health-related response to the ongoing cholera outbreak in Lebanon. “Lebanon is vulnerable to cholera, and this is being aggravated by prolonged economic conditions and scarce access to clean water and proper sanitation services across the country,” Abdinasir Abubakar, WHO representative in Lebanon, was quoted by the statement as saying. “We need to concert efforts to ensure that people have just access to health services, clean water, and sanitation and educate them on how to deal with cholera if any gets infected,” he added.
