Photo Essay: Cholera in a Time of War
Page 4 of 9

Sick and tired: The DRC has the lowest healthcare spending of any country—just $15 per person annually, compared with $6,000 in the United States. At least several hundred people have contracted cholera in recent weeks in eastern DRC, where the fighting is concentrated, and dozens have died. Above, a Congolese man receives treatment for cholera in a Médecins Sans Frontières tent clinic at the Kibati refugee camp on Nov. 10. In the Kibati camp alone, 45 cases were treated in the three days before this photo was taken.
