TEL AVIV – Israel mendeteksi kolera di reservoir (waduk) di utara negara itu. Kolera itu kemungkinan akibat wabah di negara tetangga Suriah yang menyebar ke Israel.

Kementerian Kesehatan Israel mengatakan hal itu pada Jumat (11/11/2022), menurut laporan Reuters.

“Deteksi bakteri tidak menimbulkan bahaya bagi publik pada saat ini,” ungkap juru bicara Kementerian Kesehatan Israel.

Dia menambahkan pihak berwenang telah mengambil langkah-langkah untuk “melindungi sumber air Israel” dan secara teratur memantau kemungkinan kontaminasi air, terutama di utara.

“Dalam sampel yang diambil Kementerian Kesehatan selama beberapa hari terakhir, sampel dari reservoir Yarmoukim di utara dinyatakan positif kolera,” papar juru bicara itu.

“Asal usul bakteri kemungkinan dari Suriah, mengingat wabah kolera di sana,” ungkap pernyataan itu.

Air dari waduk yang terkena dampak digunakan untuk irigasi, menurut Asosiasi Air Lembah Jordan.

Kasus kolera baru-baru ini di Suriah pertama kali dikonfirmasi pada Agustus, menurut Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO).

Wabah itu telah mengamuk di seluruh negeri dan bulan lalu menyebar ke Lebanon.

Kolera biasanya menyebar melalui air, makanan, atau kotoran yang terkontaminasi. Penyakit itu dapat menyebabkan diare parah dan dehidrasi, yang dapat membunuh, jika tidak ditangani dengan cepat.

TEL AVIV – Israel detected cholera in a reservoir (reservoir) in the north of the country. The cholera was likely the result of an outbreak in neighboring Syria that spread to Israel.

The Israeli Ministry of Health said this on Friday (11/11/2022), according to a Reuters report.

“The detection of bacteria does not pose a danger to the public at this time,” said a spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Health.

He added authorities had taken steps to “protect Israel’s water sources” and were regularly monitoring possible water contamination, especially in the north.

“In the samples taken by the Ministry of Health over the past few days, samples from the Yarmoukim reservoir in the north tested positive for cholera,” the spokesperson said.

“The origin of the bacteria is likely from Syria, given the cholera outbreak there,” the statement said.

Water from the affected reservoir is used for irrigation, according to the Jordan Valley Water Association.

The first recent case of cholera in Syria was confirmed in August, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The outbreak has been raging across the country and last month spread to Lebanon.

Cholera is usually spread through contaminated water, food or feces. The disease can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration, which can kill, if not treated quickly.
