more disasters in Iraq

More signs of progress in Iraq

Cholera is confirmed in Baghdad for the first time since 2003. What successful democracy is complete without a cholera outbreak that is due to people fleeing their homes to avoid sectarian violence and killings?

Al-Gasseer said health authorities were concerned the disease could spread because of the movement of people within Iraq's borders.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people have been forced to flee their homes because of violence.A disease that would otherwise be easily treatable has been made all the more dangerous because of Iraq's precarious security situation following the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.
