WHO: Africa on Brink of Polio Outbreak
AP reports, "Africa is on the brink of the biggest polio epidemic in years, with the crippling disease hitting Nigeria hard and re-emerging in Sudan's war-ravaged Darfur region, the World Health Organization said Tuesday. The number of polio cases globally has reached 333 so far this year, almost double the number for the same period last year." :: Pestilence (Luke 21:11).
