The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said
Wednesday the main accelerators of the cholera outbreak are broken water
supply systems and the lack of sufficient chlorine in the country to
provide clean water.
On September 22, there were at least 54 cases. The UN said that according to the World Health Organization and Iraq's Ministry of Health there were over 1,600 cases on October 15, almost 40 percent in Babylon.
The UN said the humanitarian deterioration is a result of conflict, funding shortfalls and diminished ability of people to cope.
