The number of dead from the cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe has passed 2,000, and the number of diagnosed cases is nearly at 40,000. Two members of a team sent to the country last month by Physicians for Human Rights, Chris Beyrer and Frank Donaghue report on the situation there; follow this link for the grim details. They say:
This tragedy has many terrible features, but chief among them is that this catastrophe is entirely man-made. The Mugabe regime has destroyed the health-care system, as it has devastated virtually every other sector of public life, with its ruinous mix of corruption, mismanagement, violence and human rights violations.
