Isn't there anything the world community can do to help this situation? It appears that as all long as the victims are black children the world turns their back? Hmm.

Rabies has killed over 50 children in Angola's capital Luanda in the past three months, raising alarm in a city with thousands of stray dogs whose infected bite can transmit the virus to humans, a health official said on Tuesday.

"This is something I have never seen in Angola before. The virus is extremely serious because it is like a death sentence to humans," said hospital director Luis Bernardino. (Reuters)
