Description
Noni Ella Winkler and co-authors report in 2024 on a cholera outbreak in a refugee camp in Ethiopia in 2023, and on failings in the response. The outbreak was confirmed in late August, and 470 cases were treated over about four weeks. Water, sanitation, health, and nutrition conditions in the camp all fell short of minimum standards for emergency aid.
The authors call the shortfall a failure of the humanitarian response. They argue the same pattern is likely in other camps in Ethiopia, where new arrivals strain already thin services. Closing funding gaps for refugee response is presented as an urgent step to prevent a repeat.
