The WHO has been warning for years that contagious diseases are on the rise as a result of climate change. Climate-sensitive diseases like cholera will worsen as temperatures rise and extreme weather events increase in frequency. When these conditions collide in developing nations like Syria - which have little means to protect themselves - catastrophe can follow.
This cholera outbreak isn't related to climate change. It's a direct consequence of Turkey's seizing the Euphrates River's water as Ankara has turned Syria's water reserves into a swamp. By dropping the water level to a record low, Turkey has created the conditions for water contamination and now it's the Syrian people who are paying the price. This is a geopolitical issue.
