world health organization I have a friend who lives in Zimbabwe, and she told me that the cholera epidemic is out of control there. The World Health Organization has made some donations to help fight the disease, but apparently the money is not working fast enough. The death toll is up to 3,000, and it's summer there, so the disease spreads rapidly with their hot summer temperatures. According to my friend, the World Health Organization is doing what it can to stop the spread of this easily curable disease, but the country is so impoverished, and living conditions for many are simply deplorable.

The World Health Organization expects the epidemic to spread to 60,000 before it can be contained. It's the rainy season in Zimbabwe right now, and these rains will spread the germ further, according to the WHO. The World Health Organization is trying to stem the spread of this disease, but short of a miracle, there is not much they can do in the short term to improve the living conditions for the people in this once beautiful country.
