What worries me (well, at least another thing that worries me) is reading about people handling bodies with their bare hands, drinking the water with no precautions, mass graves in the open air, people using wherever they can as a toilet... all this combined is enough to create a breeding ground for a multitude of diseases.

Malaria - An infectious disease characterized by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating.

Cholera - An acute infectious disease of the small intestine, characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, muscle cramps, severe dehydration, and depletion of electrolytes.

Dengue Fever - An infectious disease of the tropics transmitted by mosquitoes and characterized by rash and aching head and joints.

Typhoid - A communicable disease marked by fever, diarrhea, prostration, headache, splenomegaly, eruption of rose-colored spots, leukopenia, and intestinal inflammation.
