Disease Outbreaks in Dinagat Islands (2 pts)

Affected communities are experiencing disease outbreaks and acute malnutrition, due to lack of access
to clean water and healthy food. One of the regions hit by the illness epidemic was the Dinagat Islands.
Following Odette, the Dinagat Islands' three local areas (Cagdianaio, San Jose, and Tubajon) reported
severe gastroenteritis cases due to a shortage of safe drinking water. Surigao City's primary supply of
water was destroyed and was leaked, resulting in a lack of drinkable water. The lack of access to
adequate drinking water and sanitation facilities raises the likelihood of communicable disease
outbreaks and other health problems.
