Nearly 3,000 people die of this preventable disease each and every day,
and now climate change threatens to spread malaria to new parts of the
world. But renewed efforts aim to replicate the successes seen in some
countries and cut deaths in half between 2008 and 2010.
Over 630,000 refugees living in East Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda
will receive insecticide-treated bed nets as part of an initiative to
eliminate malaria deaths in the next generation, announced the United
Nations last week.
