Leprosy Re-Emerges in India Due to Climate Change

Leprosy, a disease that was once a major problem in India, is making a comeback.

This is especially true in areas hit hard by climate change, like floods and droughts.

Climate disasters often make it harder for people with leprosy to get help.

These extreme events also lead to crowded living conditions, which can spread the disease.

Experts say more needs to be done to help these communities, including better healthcare and more awareness of how climate and leprosy are connected.

The lack of funding for these issues makes it even more difficult.
