...those heading to developing nations, typhoid fever and cholera--both of which, like hepatitis A, are spread via contaminated food and water--also are concerns.

...thing putting troops in between two armies that have agreed on a cease-fire; quite another when their job is to fight their way in and impose a truce on both - and to do so as the city's food and drinking water supplies dwindle and cholera becomes a real threat. The most immediate cause cited by West African leaders for the delay in getting an ECOWAS force onto the ground may be financial.
