the scourge of war



from SLATE (9/24/04): >The ... International Herald Tribune [reports] that Hepatitis E, which is especially lethal for pregnant women, is spreading in two Iraqi cities. Officials said typhoid fever is also increasing. "The problem is the whole  infrastructure," said a health ministry official. He said water and sewage plants were neglected during Saddam's reign. [why is that?] But "definitely no major intervention has been done in this last one and a half years to repair the problem." <
