Kyiv: On June 10, Mariupol’s Mayor stated that Cholera and other deadly diseases could kill thousands of people in the southern Ukrainian city as corpses lie uncollected and summer brings warmer weather. Mayor Vadym Boichenko also added that wells had been contaminated by the corpses of people killed during weeks of Russian bombardment and siege. “There is an outbreak of dysentery and cholera. This is the assessment of our doctors: that the war which took over 20,000 residents … unfortunately, with these infection outbreaks, will claim thousands more Mariupolites,” he told reporters.
