Cholera Outbreak in Papua New Guinea Said to Raise Death Toll

Via Third Age :

" A cholera outbreak that hit Papua New Guinea is raising the death toll of nearby villagers. According to TheEpochTimes.com, more than 100 are now suspected dead from the cholera outbreak that originated in Daru, an island near Australia's Cape York.

Australia has restricted hundreds from traveling between the Torres Strait Islands and Papua New Guinea to contain the risk of a spread of the cholera outbreak.

Medical supplies and other forms of aid are being sent by the World Health Organization and Australian aid agency AusAID."
