Somalia on the verge of a cholera epidemic
2009-08-01
[Iran Press TV Latest] Cholera in Somalia's capital and some other towns claims the lives of 13 children and nine women as hospitals complain about the lack of medicine to treat the patients.
At least they've got lotsa olde tyme religion...
As we all know, "medicine" is a Zionist plot. Makes your dinky fall off.
If it isn't cholera it's polio ...
Perhaps if Al Shabab weren't enforcing the three-pebble wipe rule, they wouldn't have these little health issues.
Doctors told a Press TV correspondent that cholera was spreading in the Somali capital Mogadishu as well as the Afgooye corridor and central Shabelle and required immediate attention. According to the doctors, hundreds of people have been affected and hospitalized where the disease is spreading. So far, 13 children between the ages of three and seven have been killed as well as nine women.

The doctors said that medical services are not available in many parts of Mogadishu and other towns affected by the disease. Treatment has become very difficult as there is no medicine to treat the hospitalized patients. They further said that UN agencies and aid groups at present are stationed outside Somalia and private hospitals are not doing much to help.

Moreover, some cases of cholera have also been reported from the neighboring regions of Bay and Bakool where, reports say, some civilians have died. The latest reports indicate that the cholera outbreak might spread to other regions in south and central Somalia.
Geez, that's...too bad.
Perhaps the pirates should demand medicines instead of money they next time they're bargaining for ransom.

Are Islamics (And Islam) Going to kill themselves before the world has to?

#1  no mention why UN and NGO medical ops are all outside the country? Perhaps it's because the ungrateful Islamo-tards tend to kill and kidnap them in their little pious shithole?

Consequences are a bitch, aren't they?
