Cholera outbreak in Syria amid humanitarian crisis: the epidemic threat, future health implications, and response strategy - a review.

The war in Syria, which started over 11 years ago, has devastated the country's water sources, healthcare system, and other vital facilities for healthy living.

Syria experienced its last hit of cholera in 2009, which led to the deaths of several Syrian children and affected about 1,000 people.
