Cholera and Bahrain

Cholera is a disease contracted when you drink or eat food that is contaminated. You get an infection in the intestine and it makes you have a diarrheal illness. This disease was discovered in January, 1991. This illness is affecting right now Zimbabwe. Cholera has affected a lot Zimbabwe because the death rate has risen up to 2,024 people. Cholera, which causes diarrhoea and dehydration, has spread to all of Zimbabwe's ten provinces because of the collapse of health and sanitation systems. This disease has killed a lot of people! Cholera can spread very fast. A daily problem we all can have is drink from dirty water. If we drink from dirty water you can have Cholera and it can kill you. Cholera tends to occur in outbreaks, especially after floods. If you find yourself in an epidemic area be very careful of what you eat and drink. Do not even brush your teeth with local water unless it has been boiled. When you have Cholera you can have: fever, vomit, and diarrhea. We all have to be very careful in our daily lives with what we eat and with what we drink.

Bahrain has shown that they are concerned about Cholera outbreaks. This was clear when Bahrain responded to the Cholera outbreak in Iraq in the following ways. Bahrain is adopting a wait and watch policy to ban certain food products from Iraq following a cholera outbreak there. Health officials confirmed they were monitoring travelers and food products entering the country. They advised all travelers to Iraq to avoid eating uncooked food and wash vegetables before cooking. They believe Cholera is very dangerous to all this people. They are advising their country to be really careful with the food and drinks. Bahrain has lost people with this horrible disease "Cholera".

When a Cholera problem happens again in Zimbabwe everyone knows that Bahrain is going to help Zimbabwe, just like when Bahrain helped Iraq. The ways Bahrain can help Zimbabwe if another Cholera outbreak happens is that Bahrain can give money to Zimbabwe, medicines, doctors, nurses, hospitals, refuges, and machines for operations for people who have Cholera. There are a lot of things Bahrain can help Zimbabwe with, because this two countries are very close together. When Cholera outbreaks happen, it horrible because a lot of people die. This is a disease that needs to end now, because a lot of people die so when Cholera outbreaks happen all the countries need to help with all the things I listed!
