Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by using or drinking unsanitary water.

It causes severe vomiting and diarrhea and, if left untreated, can lead to death. According to local doctors, it is spreading fast in the 15 displacement camps. Myca doesn’t have enough medical supplies to treat everyone.

Myca’s president and the opposition leader want the country to receive humanitarian aid. Now might be a good time to arrange a meeting between them to see if they can reach a compromise.

You damaged the U.S. relationship with the president by issuing the allied joint statement. Sending medicine as a goodwill gesture would repair that rift and might even help persuade her to change her mind about elections.

Myca’s president is the only one with the power to schedule elections. A goodwill gesture of aid might help persuade her to change her mind about elections.
