This is a report from Islamtoday
Um Mustafa says:
They threatened me that if I tell anybody that my nine years old son is infected with cholera, they will expel him from the hospital and will not provide him with medical attention, I agreed and other mothers agreed also, they lied and my son died, I hope I told the whole world at that time.
The Iraqi government is trying to minimize this issue and deny the whole case, they even established a Media workshop to create false reports.
According to Dr. Omar Abdullah Director of the Children Central Hospital in Baghdad:
The number of cholera cases in northern Iraq alone amounted to nearly (4800) citizen, followed Amarah, Maysan, Kirkuk, and then Baghdad, which more than twenty cases of cholera registered.
Maliki’s government is trying to hush the matter in any way, any way to guarantee that it is not diverted to the news for political reasons, and to be used by the US opponents.
Orders issued from the Minister of Health to all hospitals not to report the cases or the rapid spread of the disease.
Iraqis are saying in their daily meetings these days: “If you don’t die by the American liberty gunfire, Iranian turbans, then you die by cholera, fever, smallpox, or even AIDS”! !
