Question

How do warzones and natural disasters become breeding grounds for infectious diseases?

Answer 1

Crowding in shelters/camps, increasing contact between people

Mixing of different regional populations with different levels of vaccination or endemic disease

Contamination of drinking water

Spread of infectious mud or soils (leptospirosis)

Disruption or delay of vaccination programs

Death or disappearance of key medical and administrative staff

Destruction of key facilities (laboratories, hospitals, clinics, etc.)

Answer 2

Answer:

In these situations, the nonavailability of safe water and sanitation facillities, more crowded areas of living, underlying health issues within the population and not being able to access as easily medical help can be a major factor in illness spreading more rapidly, along with any old water or mold and in extreme cases dead bodies that sit can cause more bacteria to grow and spread.
