Explanation:
Diarrhea
Many waterborne infections cause diarrhea and loss of body fluids, resulting too often in severe dehydration and death. Diarrhea is the fifth-leading cause of death among children under the age of 5.
Frequent and recurring diarrhea can reduce children’s growth and cognitive development and increase their susceptibility to other infectious diseases.
About 88% of diarrhea-associated deaths are due to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation, and insufficient hygiene.
Cholera
Infections cause extreme diarrhea with rapid loss of body fluids and can be fatal within hours if not treated.
Cholera has been reported in 47 countries worldwide, and is most likely to affect the poorest and most vulnerable populations, including young children and older adults.
Global efforts which primarily focus on outbreak response are shifting to include long-term prevention initiatives through improved WASH and oral cholera vaccines.
