Southern Cordilia Health Crisis Deepens: Joint Taskforce Formed to Develop Vaccine Amid Ongoing Outbreak
Alkantara, Krauanagaz — The mysterious disease that has swept across Southern Cordilia continues to take its toll on communities in Krauanagaz, Zuhlgan, and the Okhoa Protectorate. With confirmed fatalities now exceeding 6,000 and tens of thousands more infected, the outbreak shows no signs of abating, further straining already overwhelmed healthcare systems.
Originally emerging in overcrowded refugee camps in northern Krauanagaz last December, the illness rapidly spread throughout the region due to poor sanitation, limited access to clean water, and mass displacement caused by the Gulf War and the Mitalldukish Civil War. Characterized by high fever, severe respiratory distress, and a widespread rash that can quickly lead to organ failure, the disease disproportionately affects vulnerable groups—especially children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions. In some camps, infection rates have exceeded 50%, and hospitals report critical shortages of medical supplies and protective equipment.
