description Cholera is a highly contagious illness that can cause severe, acute, watery diarrhea. The WHO and the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced on the 10 October 2022 the re-emergence of Cholera in Lebanon. Data was collected from the Ministry of Public Health in Lebanon, the WHO, news announcements, as well as from online databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, news, conferences, and press releases on the current cholera outbreak. More than 669 confirmed cholera cases and 23 deaths have been reported in Lebanon up until 29 December 2022. The Ministry of Public Health is providing cooperation and support in containing the disease and covering the hospital and treatment expenses for cholera patients. This paper aims to study the epidemiology of cholera, focusing on the most recent cholera outbreak in Lebanon, and to suggest some recommendations that can be followed to fight off this outbreak.
