After decades of progress, cholera is resurging worldwide, with outbreaks reported in 44 countries in 2022, a 25% increase from the previous year. The disease spreads through contaminated food and water and can kill within hours without treatment. Poverty, conflict, and climate change are key drivers of the recent rise, with floods, droughts, and other extreme weather worsening access to clean water. WHO considers the global risk from cholera very high and is urgently responding to contain outbreaks, reduce deaths, and address critical shortages in tools like vaccines. The organization is working globally to strengthen prevention, improve access to care, and support affected communities.
