#7 Well there are a couple of vaccines for Cholera and in India they have had success by feeding victims high doses of pure water and sterilized fruit juices to keep the victims hydrated until the disease runs its course.

They got Islam. What more do you want?

All snark aside, this is an interesting question. One would expect outbreaks of war-related diseases like typhus.

In the case of cholera, maybe the drinking water comes from underground sources and the sewage ends up in surface water.

They do, g(r)omgoru. It's just that nobody bothers to break out those who died from bullets and bombs from those who died from illness and hunger.

#13 Cholera can ONLY be caused by drinking water that people have shit in. That's what cholera IS.

They do have a fondness for throwing barrels of chlorine out of helicopters. Perhaps there is some method to this madness after all.
