Two people have died of cholera in Syria’s opposition-held northwest in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that hit the area, a source from the rescue force that operates there told Reuters on Tuesday.
The earthquake left more than 4,000 people dead in the opposition-controlled zone near the Turkish border and damaged health and water infrastructure, prompting fears of a spike in cholera cases.
