An independent doctors' group in Zimbabwe is reporting 800 cases of the bacterial disease typhoid in a recent outbreak.
No deaths have been reported in the past three weeks. The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights said Sunday that the nation's troubled coalition government lacked urgency in dealing with public health woes.
In a statement, the group said that amid heavy rains clean water supplies were still irregular or “completely absent” in most impoverished townships in Harare. It said burst sewers were left unattended and meat and fish were sold on streets nearby.
A cholera outbreak in 2009 blamed on the collapse of water, sanitation and prevention services in Zimbabwe killed more than 4,000 people. - Sapa-AP

Can Mugabe be charged for Genocide? After all he is directly responsible for the mess and depravity of the Zimbabwean people. Wasn't he the guy who got his militia to kill the Ndebele people. --------> "When Mugabe took over power in 1980 he deployed the 5th brigade, known as Gukurahundi, which killed over 20000 Ndebele people." --------> He seems to have a notable track record of all sorts of abuses and as a cherry on top for him, The SA 'freedom fighters' pat him on the back and sit back and watch as Zimbabwean refugees are brutalised in SA. Bloody Agents!
