Iraq: WHO Cholera Alert in the North, Baghdad at Risk

"A cholera epidemic has affected at least 7,000 people in the northern provinces of Iraq and may reach Baghdad in the next few weeks. The accomplices were the terrible conditions of the water system and Iraqi infrastructures due to the war. The alert was raised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and has been confirmed by Baghdad authorities." Where "Shock and Awe" has left survivors, disease and destruction take up the slack. How much more of Busco's "freedom" can these people stand?
