"Public health authorities can only guess how many people die of malaria because most of the victims never make it to a clinic; the estimates range from 1 million to 3 million a year. Most of the dead are children under age 5, and 90% had the misfortune to be born in Sub-Saharan Africa, a land trapped somewhere between the modern world and the Stone Age." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article, the first in a series from The Times, examines the origins of malaria and efforts to eradicate the disease by the U.S. military, World Health Organization, World Bank, the United Nations and other groups but asserts that the lack of commitment to pledges made has resulted in "a sting of death afflicting millions."
