“Zambia Deploys Army to Fight Cholera Outbreak.” Al Jazeera, 30 Dec. 2017, www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/12/zambia-deploys-army-fight-cholera-outbreak-171230190812235.html. Accessed 30 Dec. 2017.
The president of Zambia, Edgar Lungu, sent out the country's military to combat the cholera outbreak, which had killed over forty people in the capital and affected many others. The outbreak had begun in the end of September in Lusaka. Although the outbreak had seemed to fade out by October, more cases arose in November. It was determined that the original outbreak was because of infected water and the resurgence of the disease came from people eating food from markets where contaminated food was being distributed. Despite the fact that cholera is easily treated, it can be fatal if not treated quickly.
