CORDILIAN FEVER DEATH TOLL SURGES IN MITALLDUK AS VACCINE TRIALS ENTER FINAL STAGE
Ta’ana, Mitallduk — As the Cordilian Fever epidemic enters its eighth month, the humanitarian toll across Southern Cordilia continues to rise—nowhere more acutely than in war-torn Mitallduk, where officials report that over 84,000 deaths have occurred since February. Public health experts warn that the true number may be significantly higher due to unreported cases in insurgent-held territories and displacement zones.
The disease, first identified shortly after the Mount Alkantarak eruption, has spread through overcrowded shelters, refugee camps, and quarantine-evading nomadic corridors. In Mitallduk alone, the Federation CDC estimates over 2.4 million infections, with the mortality rate climbing due to limited access to antiviral treatments and persistent malnutrition.
