Cholera in Dhaka

DHAKA, BANGLADESH - MAY 3: Young boys play in the Buriganga river in Sadarghat in Dhaka, Bangladesh on May 3, 2006. Dhaka is the fastest growing city in Asia, with a population of nearly 14 million people. Four million people live in squatter settlements, around the city, without access to clean water, and terrible sanitary conditions. Water contamination, extreme poverty, and lack of hygiene lead to severe diarrheal diseases and Cholera. In a country where seasonal floods inundate almost one-third of the country every year, diarrheal diseases are a fact of life, and a fatal reality. 3 million people a year still die from diarrheal complications, including 1.9 million children under 5. A simple approach called Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT), which replaces lost fluids and essential minerals and salts, can save lives. (Photo by Jonathan Torgovnik/Getty Images)
