The UN’s children’s agency says it has activated an emergency cholera response to help protect children and families by containing the disease.

The announcement by UNICEF Friday follows the confirmation of a cholera case in the Akkar governorate in North Lebanon.

The health ministry said in a statement that the cholera case was unrelated to the growing displacement crisis in Lebanon. However, the country remains vigilant in controlling the spread of communicable diseases amid the ongoing displacement.
