Cholera claims another life in Iraq

Cholera claimed yet another life in Iraq with the problem now covering most of the country due to Iraqis migrating from one region to another as a result of sectarian violence. Shipments of chlorine, the chemical used to clean drinking water, had been held up at the border but have now entered Iraq. Chlorine has been used in numerous deadly car bombings in Iraq so the government had been cautious about importing the chemical.
