Angola is facing a public health emergency. The UN agency has declared the outbreak a
“grade two emergency” on its three-point scale. (Other grade two emergencies
include the conflict in northeastern Nigeria, Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu last year,
and floods in Myanmar, Mozambique and Malawi that displaced tens of thousands
of people.) No one knows the true mortality figures – a product of both
Angola’s poor data-keeping and the government’s preference to bury bad news.
But there have been media reports of 50 people (or 25 children) dying daily
from malaria, yellow fever, dengue and typhoid.
