Black Death

    Black death, the disease wiped out 1 million people in Europe during the medieval ages, is still present today throughout the world. As many as 2,000 cases of the virus are found each year, including some in the United States. Most of these cases come from the island of Madagascar off the coast of Africa. Madagascar faced a coup in 2009, and its world aid was cut off. This has led its capital to deteriorate. There is no sanitation or health system. This has also caused the capital to be a potential breeding ground and for rats and fleas, which is how the disease is contracted. The remote village of Beranimbo was origin of an outbreak that had the potential to wipe out the whole village. Once it was present, it rapidly spread to other villages because people would move and try to find help.

    The forgotten people of Madagascar and its remote villages can be compared to the forgotten Japanese Internment Camps that the world turned its back on. Due to political conflict between countries, they are letting them get wiped off by just standing by. The antibiotics that are needed to treat the Black Death are relatively cheap but the world has done nothing. The world is choosing to neglect and forget these people and the crisis what they are facing. The oppression of the Japanese has been forgotten and Madagascar’s people seem to face the same fate.
