Incident Details

Limited access to clean water has caused an uptick in cases of diarrheal illness such as E. coli, norovirus, and viral hepatitis across the country. Healthcare facilities have also seen disruptions to essential services such as refrigeration, medicine procurement, and sanitation, requiring them to prioritize emergency and urgent care. The disruptions have been attributed in part to ongoing fuel shortages, which have also caused repeated power outages across the country in recent months.
